| A vulnerability exists in the Yahoo! Messenger "addview" function that permits a remote attacker to execute arbitrary script and HTML in the Internet security zone of the local machine. The "addview" function is only supposed to accept view information from Yahoo! servers. However, an attacker can send malicious script and HTML to the client using the Yahoo! URL redirection service. This script or HTML is interpreted by the Yahoo! Messenger client and is displayed in the client's web browser. |
