Buffer overflow in kvdocve.dll in the KeyView document viewing engine in Autonomy (formerly Verity) KeyView, as used by IBM Lotus Notes 7.0.2 and 7.0.3, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long pathname, as demonstrated by a long SRC attribute of an IMG element in an HTML document.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
