What is CVE-2007-5399?

The Autonomy KeyView EML Reader, utilized by IBM Lotus Notes, is susceptible to multiple heap-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities. These issues arise from insufficient validation of long header fields including To, Cc, Bcc, From, Date, Subject, among others. An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities by crafting emails with excessively long input in the specified fields, leading to potential remote code execution. This highlights the importance of strict input validation and handling mechanisms in email processing applications to mitigate risks associated with arbitrary code execution.
