- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2002-06-11 · Updated: 2024-08-08

## Affected

- n/a: version range not reported

## Description

htcgibin.exe in Lotus Domino server 5.0.9a and earlier allows remote attackers to determine the physical pathname for the server via requests that contain certain MS-DOS device names such as com5, such as (1) a request with a .pl or .java extension, or (2) a request containing a large number of periods, which causes htcgibin.exe to leak the pathname in an error message.
