Hash: SHA1

Hi,

the following agent causes the IBM JVM 1.3.1 shipped with Lotus Domino 6.0.1
and Lotus Notes 6.0.1 to crash. After calling the agent a huge amount of memory
is not freed and causes the server machine (observed on MS XP) to
deny further service.

IMPLICATIONS
- - If the agent is run on the client, Lotus Notes 6.0.1 is vulnerable,
- - if the agent is run on the server, Lotus Domino 6.0.1 is vulnerable.

ANALYSIS:
The call to the "update" method of the CRC32 raises an integer overflow
in the java java.util.zip.* core libraries which triggers a jni routine
that cannot handle the extreme high input value.

HISTORY:
This vulnerability has already been detected in the Sun JDK
(http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4811913.html),
and was disclosed at Blackhat Windows 2003.
The background of this bugs is described at www.illegalaccess.org

Sincerely
Marc Schoenefeld
