Description:
Lotus Domino Web Server under Windows 2000 (have not tested other versions) allows reading
files outside the web root.
Details:
The problem are URLs like:
-----------------------------------------
http://TARGETDOMINO/.nsf/../winnt/win.ini
-----------------------------------------
which read c:\winnt\win.ini.
Note that above URL does not work in IE - for some strange reasons IE strips .nsf/../
so try it from Netscape or direct HTTP request.
Vendor status:
Sent several emails to Lotus/IBM on 3 January but did not hear back from them.
