IBM Lotus Notes Traveler contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a remote authenticated attacker omits the Internet ID field in the person document, then uses an Apple device to accept or decline an invitation. This will result in a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash.
