Hello DominoSecurity readers,

Some versions of Domino 6.x and 7.x for Linux contain a security weakness that could allow an attacker to attain root privileges. The exploit relates to the tunekrnl file within Linux. Lotus says that the problem is fixed in 6.5.5-FP2 and 7.0.2.

Here is the Lotus advisory about this problem:
