** HEAD'S UP ** MSN messanger critical vulnerability
Greeting's
A HIGHLY CRITICAL vulnerability has been found in MSN messenger (VERSION 6.X AND 7 BETA)
The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the processing of GIF images and can be exploited by sending a specially crafted emoticon or display picture to a user
it goes on.....
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running MSN Messenger, but requires that it is possible to send messages to the user (only possible for people in a user's contact list by default).
