Description:
B0B has discovered a vulnerability in ICQ, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise another user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error when generating HTML code to display messages in the embedded Internet Explorer component, which can be exploited by sending specially crafted messages containing format string specifiers to another user.
Successful exploitation allows the execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in ICQ 6 build 6043. Other versions may also be affected.
