CHAT: MSN Invalid Video Frame
This signature detects MSN video packets containing invalid frame information. Malicious users can send video frames to vulnerable MSN Messenger clients and cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. MSN Messenger 7.x and 8.1 are affected.
Extended Description
Microsoft MSN Messenger is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
Affected Products
- Microsoft MSN Messenger Service 6.2
- Microsoft MSN Messenger Service 7.0
- Microsoft MSN Messenger Service 7.0 beta
