Yahoo Messenger has critical bugs that could enable a remote hacker to take control of a user's system. The Company has released a path last week.
eEye Digital Security found the bugs within the last few weeks. According to eEye's researchers there are actually multiple flaws in version 8 of Yahoo's instant messenger client software.
Yahoo has fixed a buffer overflow problem in Webcam ActiveX controls that was causing the problem. Yahoo is recommending that users update their Yahoo Messenger software to Version 8.1.0.401, which can be found at Yahoo's update site.
The vulnerability could be exploited if the user visits a Web site containing malicious code or opens an attachment with malicious code. If a user's machine is infected, a hacker could take control of the system.
Yahoo recently released a beta version of its Yahoo Messenger for the Web, which removes the need for a separate IM client application. The Flash-based chat service is compatible with Microsoft's Windows Live Messenger and is supported by the four most popular browsers: IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari.
