CVE-2022-44754Network attack vector

Code execution via lasr.dll stack buffer overflow

Published Dec 17, 2022 · Updated Apr 17, 2025

Stack-based buffer overflow in HCL Domino 9 allows remote attackers to execute code or crash the server via a crafted Lotus Ami Pro file. HCL identifies Micro Focus KeyView's lasr.dll as the locus but has not disclosed the parsing routine or malformed field that overruns the stack buffer. Exploitation requires Domino to process an attacker-supplied file, after which the process can terminate or run attacker-controlled code.
