A vulnerability has been identified in IBM Lotus Domino Web Access, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service or take complete control of an affected system. This issue is caused by a buffer overflow error in the "inotes6w.dll" and "dwa7W.dll" ActiveX controls when calling the "InstallBrowserHelperDll()" method while passing an overly long data to the "General_ServerName" property, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page.
