POP3: IBM Lotus Notes Applix Graphics Parsing Buffer Overflow

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in IBM Lotus Notes Applix. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the affected application.

Extended Description

Autonomy KeyView module is prone to multiple stack- and heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data before copying it to insufficiently sized buffers. Exploiting these issues will allow an attacker to corrupt memory and to cause denial-of-service conditions or potentially to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using the module. Multiple products using the KeyView module are affected.
