4) Description of Vulnerability

Secunia Research has discovered two vulnerabilities in Autonomy 
KeyView, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise 
a vulnerable system.

The vulnerabilities are caused by boundary errors in the SpreadSheet 
Lotus 123 reader (wkssr.dll) when parsing certain records. This can be
exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows via specially crafted 
files.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
