DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in IBM Lotus Notes, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the "cai" URI handler allowing the
launch of rcplauncher.exe with arbitrary command line arguments. This
can be exploited to load arbitrary libraries via the
"--launcher.library" argument e.g. by tricking the user into visiting
a specially crafted web site or following a specially crafted link.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in the following versions:
* IBM Lotus Notes versions prior to 8.0.2 Fix Pack 6.
* IBM Lotus Notes versions prior to 8.5.1 Fix Pack 5.
* IBM Lotus Notes versions prior to 8.5.2.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 8.0.2 FP6, 8.5.1 FP5, or 8.5.2.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
