Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Lotus Notes, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions. The vulnerability is caused due to directory traversal errors in kvarcve.dll when generating the preview of a compressed file from ZIP, UUE and TAR archives. This can be exploited to delete arbitrary files that are accessible to the Notes user. Affected versions are Lotus Notes 6.5.4 and Lotus Notes 7.0.
