A vulnerability in the MIME message handling of the HCL Notes v9 client could potentially be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker resulting in a stack buffer overflow.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.25%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
A vulnerability in the MIME message handling of the HCL Notes v9 client could potentially be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker resulting in a stack buffer overflow. This could allow a remote attacker to crash the Notes application or inject code into the system which would execute with the privileges of the currently logged-in user.
