Hmm...gee. Now why would a guy want that kind of information?

Well, if he was trying to be malicious, he would probably have tried to google it already, since the first thing that comes up is:

"Microsoft MSN Messenger Includes an ActiveX Control That Has 'ResDLL' Parameter Buffer Overflow That Lets Remote Users Execute Arbitrary Code"...

Which somehow doesn't surprise me at all... :D

I just installed that patch from here:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/chat/Patch/4.2/WIN98MeXP/EN-US/MSNChatSecFix.exe

I would suggest anyone else using MSN Messenger do the same, since even Microsoft says this:

Impact of vulnerability: Run Code of Attacker's Choice

Maximum Severity Rating: Critical
