Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Lotus Notes, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. A boundary error within kvdocve.dll when processing overly long paths can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via e.g. an overly long link inside the "src" attribute of an <IMG> tag in an HTML document. Lotus Notes versions 7.0.2 and 7.0.3 are affected.
