### Background

[Lotus Notes](<http://www.lotus.com/notes>) is the client for Lotus Domino servers. Lotus Notes uses the [Autonomy KeyView](<http://www.autonomy.com/content/Products/KeyView/index.en.html>) library to process files in the Lotus Worksheet File format (WKS) used by Lotus 1-2-3. 

### Problem

A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Autonomy KeyView library allows command execution when a user views a specially crafted worksheet attachment in Lotus Notes. 

### Resolution

Contact IBM support for a patch or apply one of the workarounds described in the IBM [Technote](<http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21285600>).
