Description
A vulnerability in the MIME message handling of the Notes client (versions 9 and 10) could potentially be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker resulting in a stack buffer overflow. This could allow a remote attacker to crash the client or inject code into the system which would execute with the privileges of the client.
