Yahoo IM hit with critical security flaws
By
A number of highly critical security flaws have been found in the latest version of Yahoo Messenger, which could allow attackers to gain remote access to users systems, according to a security advisory issued by eEye Digital Security.
“We recently learned of a buffer overflow security issue in an ActiveX control. This control is part of the code for webcam image upload and viewing. Upon learning of this issue, we began working towards a resolution and expect to have a fix shortly,” said Terrell Karlsten, a Yahoo spokesman.
