Yahoo! Messenger is still suffering from a webcam vulnerability reported on a McAfee security blog earlier this week.
The security bug is described as a ‘heap overflow’ and can only be exploited if you accept a webcam invitation. Until Yahoo issues a patch, you can avoid the problem by simply not accepting webcam invitations unless you know the person sending the invite. (A good practice anytime.)
