The Windows Messenger ActiveX control in msgsc.dll in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors that "corrupt the system state," aka "Microsoft Windows Messenger ActiveX Control Vulnerability."
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.
