4) Description of Vulnerability

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

The vulnerability is caused by an error in the SpreadSheet Lotus 123
reader (wkssr.dll) when allocating an array of pointers during the
parsing of a certain record type combined with how strings are later 
indexed. This can be exploited to corrupt memory via a specially 
crafted file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
