CVE-2005-2618: Buffer Overflow
First published: Sat Dec 31 2005(Updated: )
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in Autonomy (formerly Verity) KeyView SDK before 9.2.0, as used in Lotus Notes 6.5.4 and 7.0, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a UUE file containing an encoded file with a long filename handled by uudrdr.dll, (2) a compressed ZIP file with a long filename handled by kvarcve.dll, (3) a TAR archive with a long filename that is extracted to a directory with a long path handled by the TAR reader (tarrdr.dll), (4) an email that contains a long HTTP, FTP, or // link handled by the HTML speed reader (htmsr.dll) or (5) an email containing a crafted long link handled by the HTML speed reader (htmsr.dll).
