Yahoo! Messenger 5.6 File Transfer Buffer Overrun Vulnerability

                                                source: Yahoo! Messenger File Transfer Buffer Overrun Vulnerability

Yahoo! Messenger is prone to a remotely exploitable buffer overrun vulnerability. An attacker may trigger this condition by initiating a malformed 'sendfile' request, which the victim user must then accept. This will reportedly result in an access violation error, which is likely due to memory corruption.

An attacker may theoretically exploit this condition to execute arbitrary code on a client system. This condition can be exploited via a malicious 'sendfile' link.
