  |  Slashdot // Image Causes Exploitable Overflow in Microsoft Products Em Adespoton writes "Core Security researchers discovered that by electing a specially-crafted graphic as the user's display picture in MSN Messenger, an attacker could trigger a buffer overflow vulnerability on the chat partner's computer. Through this, it is possible to covertly take over machines running instant messaging software. Windows Messenger and Windows Media Player are also affected by this vulnerability. The story is also available at Newsfactor.com and SearchSecurity.com." http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?si...26227&from=rss |
