Hi, Does anyone have more information on this issue? ----snip---- http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/20625/discuss Yahoo! Messenger is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash the server, denying further service to legitimate users. Yahoo! Messenger 8 with Voice is vulnerable. ----snip---- I could not find this vulnerability reported on any other place than bugtraq (say Secunia, iDefense, ISC). Thanks, - Siddhartha _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
