CVE-2010-3899

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM OmniFind Enterprise Edition versions 8.x through 9.x

Description The issue allows remote web servers to cause a denial of service, specifically an infinite loop, by providing a crafted series of documents. This is due to the software performing web crawls with an unlimited recursion depth.

Recommendations For IBM OmniFind Enterprise Edition versions 8.x through 9.x, consider implementing a limit on recursion depth for web crawls to prevent infinite loops. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the web crawl functionality until a more permanent solution is available.
