IBM Lotus Notes NTMulti.EXE Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

IBM Lotus Notes is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability because it fails to assign proper file permissions during installation.

Attackers can exploit this issue to run arbitrary applications with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successful attacks will completely compromise affected computers.

NOTE: This issue may be related to the one covered under BID 20612, but his has not been confirmed. We will update this BID as more information emerges.
