Attack vector
NETWORK Attack complexity
MEDIUM Privileges required
NONE Confidentiality impact
COMPLETE Integrity impact
COMPLETE Availability impact
COMPLETE Summary
Buffer overflow in the TagAttributeListCopy function in nnotes.dll in IBM Lotus Notes before 7.0.3 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML email, related to duplicate RTF conversion when the recipient operates on this email.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

description | The version of Lotus Notes installed on the remote Windows host is reportedly affected by several buffer overflows in its file attachment viewer when handling attachments of various types. By sending a specially crafted attachment to users of the affected application and getting them to double-click and view the attachment, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code subject to the privileges under which the affected application runs. It is also affected by another buffer overflow vulnerability in the TagAttributeListCopy function in |

description | BUGTRAQ ID: 26200 CVE(CAN) ID: CVE-2007-4222 Lotus Domino/Notes服务器是一款基于WEB协同工作的应用程序架构,运行在Linux/Unix和Microsoft Windows操作系统平台下。 Lotus Notes在处理邮件格式转换时存在漏洞,远程攻击者可能利用此漏洞控制用户系统。 Lotus Notes用户接收到HTML邮件后会将HTML转换为类似于RTF的格式,然后在回复、转发该消息或拷贝到剪贴板时会再次转换邮件格式。在将攻击者所提供的变量长度字符串拷贝到固定大小的栈缓冲区时,nnotes.dll库的TagAttributeListCopy函数中的Cstrcpy调用可能会出现缓冲区溢出。如果用户受骗回复或转发了邮件,或将邮件拷贝到剪贴板,就可以触发这个溢出,导致执行任意指令。 IBM Lotus Notes 8.0 IBM Lotus Notes 7.0 IBM Lotus Notes 6.5 目前厂商已经发布了升级补丁以修复这个安全问题,请到厂商的主页下载: <a href="http://www.ers.ibm.com/" target="_blank">http://www.ers.ibm.com/</a> |
