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.
