IBM released a technote titled: "Potential security vulnerabilities in Lotus Notes file viewers for Applix Presents, Folio Flat File, HTML speed reader, KeyView and MIME".

The vulnerabilites center around attached files of many types:

  • Text mail (MIME)
  • HTML speed reader (.htm)
  • Applix Presents (.ag)
  • Folio Flat File (.fff)
  • KeyView document viewing engine

Workarounds and on demand patches are available. Secunia (who reported the vulnerability to IBM) has an advisory on the same subject as well.
