Title: Upgrade urged to 6.5.5 / 7.0.1 for security fixes

Contents:

Hello DominoSecurity readers,

Over the last few weeks, Lotus/IBM released versions 6.5.5 and 7.0.1 of the Notes/Domino products. These releases fix several security vulnerabilities, so Lotus urges all customers to upgrade. I concur. I have waited a while before recommending this upgrade, to make sure there were no regression problems. I have seen some reports of various, fairly obscure, issues but nothing that is a show-stopper. See this link from IBM about the security fixes...
