Domino R6 crashes on HTTP-Request

HCL Domino Domino Forum

hi,i wrote a web-agent, to upload a file. this is my client (HTML):

this is the code of my lotus-script-agent:

Dim s As New NotesSession

Dim dc As notesdocument

Print “Content-Type:text/html”

Set dc = s.DocumentContext

Print dc.Content_Length(0)

Print Len(dc.request_content(0))

if i try to upload a text-only file everything is fine. if the file is binary (as an excel-file), the domino server crashes. only what we can do is to restart the whole server, the notes-service hangs is not responding to any request (http or notes-client). the file is only 25kbyte small of size. i tried a lot, but every time i try to access the request_content with binary data filled the domino server crashes.

has anyone the same experience, or can anyone help?

thanks

maxi

Subject: Domino R6 crashes on HTTP-Request

Same here on a R7 Win32 server, alhtough the crashing is far more graceful in R7, as we can start the service immediately, without having to hunt for stray child processes.

I’ve been able to replicate the same problem with word docs as well.

Cannot believe such a wide open hole exists within a such a powerful server. Malicious end-users could abuse this hole at will.

Not too sure how to bring to IBM/Lotus’ attention, but will probably notify Cert or someone - then they’ll react.
