Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Miranda IM, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error within "ext_yahoo_contact_added()" in yahoo.c and can be exploited via a "Y7 Buddy Authorization" packet containing format string specifiers.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code but requires that the user e.g. is tricked into connecting to a malicious server.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.7.1.
