The version of Yahoo! Messenger installed on the remote host is reportedly affected by a buffer overflow as well as a denial of service vulnerability, both involving its video chat feature.

If an attacker can trick a user on the affected host into accepting a webcam invitation, these issues could be leveraged to crash the affected application or execute arbitrary code on the host subject to the user’s privileges.
