Hi,
I found a vulnerability in yahoo messenger that if you receive a Private message with
this string "msg:---------------------------------------------iframe
onload=$InlineAction()>:)"(without quotes)Yahoo messenger will Crash with a runtime error.
Remote crash proof of concept:

  1. Open messenger and log it.
  2. Open a yahoo chat third party like yahelite version 269 through Ymsgr protocol and
    log it with another account.
  3. Send a Pm to the messenger account with this string: "s: msg
    :---------------------------------------------iframe onload=$InlineAction()>:)" (without
    quotes)
  4. The remote user will crash closing down her messenger.
    Note: "msg :" this space must be created with alt+0160.
    s:(space)msg(alt+0160):---------------------------------------------iframe
    onload=$InlineAction()>:)

Tested in yahoo messenger 7.0/7.5
I didn't tried it in Yahoo messenger 8.0 Beta yet
This is the event log

I have installed the latest version of jscript.dll but the problem continues.
So do you have any information about this issue?
I discover that it's a vulnerability exploited in the wild since february but i don't
have enough information.
