IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.x before 8.5.3 FP3 does not include the HTTPOnly flag in a Set-Cookie header for a web-application cookie, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information via script access to this cookie, aka SPRs JMAS7TRNLN and SRAO8U3Q68.

The remote host has a version of Lotus Notes 8.5.1, 8.5.2, or 8.5.3.x prior to 8.5.3 Fix Pack 3 installed.  It is, therefore, reportedly affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The included version of the IBM Java SDK contains a     version of the IBM JRE that contains several errors     that allow Java code execution outside the Java     sandbox. (CVE-2012-4820, CVE-2012-4821, CVE-2012-4822,     CVE-2012-4823)

  - Information disclosure is possible because the     application does not set the 'HttpOnly' flag in the     'Set-Cookie' HTTP header. This can allow client-side     scripts to read or modify HTTP cookie information.
    (CVE-2012-4846)

Note that applying the Java patch (Reference #1616652) alone does not correct the 'HttpOnly' information disclosure vulnerability.

Further note that in the case of version 8.5.3 Fix Pack 2, if the Java patch (Reference #1616652) and the interim fix (853FP2IF3) have been applied, this may be a false positive.
