Buffer overflow in Yahoo! Messenger 8.1 allows user-assisted remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a long e-mail address in an address book entry. NOTE: this might overlap CVE-2007-3638.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
