CVE-2005-0986 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in the NLSCCSTR.DLL component of the web service in IBM Lotus Domino Server versions 6.5.1 and 6.0.3. A remote attacker can trigger a deep recursion and crash the nHTTP.exe process by sending a long GET request containing specific UNICODE characters, leading to stack exhaustion. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.0, indicating a medium severity with low attack complexity and no authentication required, resulting in a partial availability impact. While IBM has reported an inability to replicate the issue, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-25353) exists, suggesting proof-of-concept code is publicly available, though there is no evidence of active exploitation, Metasploit modules, or significant community discussion.
