What is CVE-2017-1130?

IBM Notes versions 8.5 and 9.0 are susceptible to a denial of service vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to click on a malicious link, which triggers multiple file select dialog boxes to open. This overwhelming process causes the application to hang, requiring a restart of the client to regain functionality. Proper precautions should be taken to avoid such exploits.
