Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in IP Messenger allowing malicious people to cause a buffer overflow. This could potentially be exploited to gain system access.
The problem is that IP Messenger fails to handle unusually long file and folder names. By sending files or folders with very long and specially crafted names, it is possible to cause a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the active user.
This has been reported to affect versions 2.00, 2.01, and 2.02.
