IBM Lotus Notes before 6.5.6, and 7.x before 7.0.3; and Domino before 6.5.5 FP3, and 7.x before 7.0.2 FP1; uses weak permissions (Everyone:Full Control) for memory mapped files (shared memory) in IPC, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information, or inject Lotus Script or other character sequences into a session.

IBM Lotus Notes 5.x through 7.0.2 allows user-assisted remote authenticated administrators to obtain a cleartext notes.id password by setting the notes.ini (1) KFM_ShowEntropy and (2) Debug_Outfile debug variables, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2696.

IBM Lotus Notes does not properly restrict access to password hashes in the Notes Address Book (NAB), which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via the (1) password digest field in the Administration tab of a Lotus Notes client, (2) "PasswordDigest" and "HTTPPassword" fields in the document properties in the NAB, or (3) a direct query to the Domino LDAP server, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2428.

The web interface for Lotus Notes mail automatically processes HTML in an attachment without prompting the user to save or open it, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct web-based attacks and steal cookies.
