Yahoo! Messenger 6.0, is vulnerable to a malformed Display Image packet.
Resulting in the compromise of the Victims Computer.
In order for this exploit to work, the user must allow display Images.
Suggestion to all, shut off display images and avatars until Yahoo! Remedies the flaw.
Is this something you found? What exactly could happen when this exploit is used? Just curious. 🙂 Thanks for keeping us updated!
Yes Oreo, this is something I found.
The full potential of this exploit has not yet been decided.
And I dont want to go into a full technical description of what it can do,
Or how it is done.
It has been submitted to yahoo!, and hopefully they will fix it.
Good….and I’m glad you don’t tell the FULL description what it does, I know you would not do that. I was just curious, in case some one has already tried to use it…what kinds of problems we should be expecting. Thank you so very much for letting all of us know about these things. You add a lot to the site and take the high road on many occasions where things might otherwise get ugly. 🙂
We do NOT discuss how to hack people on this site. If this thread cannot stay the way Unsakred started it (as a warning and to HELP people do LEGAL things) it WILL be locked and those of you who are violating the rules or encouraging others to will be dealt with…CAPISCE?
cool. am too lazy to create a display image of my own. forget about implementing it.but as a student of cyber crime and internet security, i wonder how this stuff works.
Dear UnSaKreD,
What build of YM! did you test it on? Besides version 6, does 5 also affected? Btw, this seems like a variant of an old exploit regarding how YM! handles images and avatars.
So is this new finding a buffer overflow? design flaw? care to explain a little bit more? =)
Good job !!! and keep us up to date ;P
