Descriptions

Multiple buffer overflows in htmsr.dll in the HTML speed reader in Autonomy (formerly Verity) KeyView, as used by IBM Lotus Notes 7.0.2 and 7.0.3, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HTML document with (1) "large chunks of data," or a long URL in the (2) BACKGROUND attribute of a BODY element or (3) SRC attribute of an IMG element.

Múltiples desbordamientos de búfer en htmsr.dll en el lector rápido HTML de Autonomy (anteriormente Verity) KeyView, usado por IBM Lotus Notes 7.0.2 and 7.0.3, permiten a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través un documento HTML con (1)"large chunks of data," (grandes cadenas/trozos de datos) o una URL larga en (2) el atributo BACKGROUND del elemento BODY (3) o a través del atributo SRC de una etiqueta IMG.

Secunia Research has discovered some vulnerabilities in Lotus Notes, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. A boundary error within the HTML speed reader (htmsr.dll) when handling links in e.g. the "background" attribute of BODY tags can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow. A boundary error within the HTML speed reader (htmsr.dll) when handling e.g. the "src" attribute of IMG tags can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow. A boundary error within the HTML speed reader (htmsr.dll) when handling large chunks of data inside an HTML document can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. Lotus Notes version 7.0.2 and 7.0.3 are affected.
