Heap-based buffer overflow in Kakadu kdu_v32m.dll in Yahoo! Messenger 8.1.0.413 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a certain length field in JPEG2000 data, as demonstrated by sending an "invite to view my webcam" request, and then injecting a DLL into the attacker's peer Yahoo! Messenger application when this request is accepted.
The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.
