Solution

IBM, Symantec, and Autonomy have released patches to address this vulnerability. Additionally, it is possible to temporarily work around the flaw by implementing the following workaround: For Lotus Notes, it is possible to disable the processing of WPD files by removing, or commenting out, the line referencing "wp6sr.dll" from the "KeyView.ini" file within the Lotus Notes program directory. Deleting "wp6sr.dll" from the affected system will also prevent exploitation.
For Symantec Mail Security, disabling "content filtering" will prevent exploitation.
