Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Yahoo! Messenger, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or compromise a user's system.
The vulnerabilities are caused due to input validation errors in ywcvwr.dll and kdu_v32m.dll when processing JPEG 2000 streams sent via the webcam stream. These can be exploited to cause a DoS condition or a heap-based buffer overflow when a user e.g. is tricked into viewing a malicious webcam stream.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities affects all versions downloaded before August 21, 2007.
