Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in IBM Lotus Notes, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors within the Lotus 1-2-3 file viewer (l123sr.dll) and can be exploited to cause buffer overflows by tricking a user into viewing a specially crafted Lotus 1-2-3 attachment with e.g. a specially crafted type SRANGE record.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities reportedly affect versions 7.0 and 8.0.
Solution:
Lotes Notes 7.x/8.x:
