OVERVIEW
A number of vulnerabilities have been identified in IBM Lotus Notes.
IMPACT
The vendor has provided the following details regarding these
vulnerabilities:
"In specific situations, arbitrary code could potentially be executed
when the following types of attachments are viewed in Notes:
LZH archive
RTF document
Applix Spreadsheets
Microsoft Excel document
Microsoft Office document
Lotus Notes .prz file
Lotus Notes .zip file
To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker would have to send a
specially crafted file attachment to users, and then users would have
to double-click the attachment and select "View".
The specific issues vary depending on attachment type; however, they
are all related in how the buffer overflow denial-of-service could be
accomplished. In all cases, the issues involve viewing a malicious
attachment from a Notes client on a Windows-based machine. Domino
servers are not impacted." [1]
MITIGATION
The vendor recommends applying the relevant fix packs to correct these
issues. [1]
