Issues with Lotus Notes Attachment Viewer and HTML Speed Reader

If you are using Lotus Notes version 6.5.4 or 7.0 then you may experience following issues while accessing attachments or clicking long HTML links in incoming emails:

• Some arbitrary code may execute when you try to view a ZIP file (having long file name) attached with an email.

• Boundary error may occur when you try to preview a ZIP, TAR, or UUE file (having long file name) attached with an email. The boundary error leads into stack overflow.

• HTML speed reader causes stack overflow when large links are trying to be opened.

All of the above-specified issues lead into the execution of some arbitrary code, which may be harmful for your computer system and the email items stored in your inbox. Moreover, there are some security flaws in Lotus Notes, which may allow the attacker to take complete control over the user’s system. However, IBM has released patches to resolve these issues but besides that, organizations do not want to take risk. Therefore, to be at the safe side most of the organizations using Lotus Notes are preferring Notes to Outlook conversion.

Migrating from one email client to another on a large scale is not an easy task. It is very time-consuming and error-prone, if done manually. Moreover, a small mistake can lead into data loss. However, if the migration is done with a third-party Notes to Outlook tool then the users’ mailboxes can be transferred to new email client in less time and with complete efficiency.

Kernel for Lotus Notes is an advance, comprehensive, and reliable solution to migrate thousands of users’ mailboxes from Notes to Outlook. The software quickly converts the users’ mailboxes from Domino server into the Exchange compatible mailboxes and then transfers them to Exchange server. Kernel for Lotus Notes supports all versions of Lotus Notes, Domino Server, MS Outlook, and MS Exchange Server. A free to evaluate version of the software is also available, which can be used to confirm the software potential.
