Synopsis

The remote Windows host has an ActiveX control that is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The Lotus iNotes Upload Module ActiveX Control is installed on the remote Windows host. The installed version of the control is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Attachment_Times() method.
