What is CVE-2002-2025?

The vulnerability present in Lotus Domino Server versions 5.0.9a and earlier allows remote attackers to induce a denial of service condition. By sending a large volume of HTTP requests that target either an MS-DOS device name or an MS-DOS device name with extra characters, attackers can deplete the server’s thread pool. This exhausts the server’s ability to process legitimate user requests, resulting in service interruption and potential downtime.
