SMTP: IBM Lotus Notes WPD Attachment Handling Buffer Overflow

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in IBM Lotus Notes. A successful attack could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the targeted system. Failed exploit attempts could result in a denial of service condition.

Extended Description

Autonomy KeyView module is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data before copying it to insufficiently sized buffers. Exploiting this issue 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.
