Summary

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in IBM's Lotus Notes servers prior to version 5.0.11 for R5 and early versions of R6. This vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers via a crafted distinguished name (DN) during the NotesRPC authentication process, potentially allowing them to execute arbitrary code. By manipulating the DN field in such a manner that its length exceeds the allocated buffer, attackers can gain unauthorized access and control over affected systems, which raises significant security concerns for organizations relying on Lotus Notes.
