MSN messenger 7.x (8.0?) VIDEO Remote Heap Overflow Exploit
This exploit allows an attacker to remotely overflow the heap in MSN Messenger version 7.x (possibly 8.0). The exploit involves compiling a DLL, injecting it into the MSN Messenger process, and then sending a webcam invitation to a contact who is online. If the invitation is accepted, the target's MSN Messenger will crash. On a Chinese version of Windows 2000 SP4, it may also result in a reverse shell. The source code of the DLL needs to be adjusted for other versions of Windows 2000 by modifying the jmpa address.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to a newer version of MSN Messenger.
