Yahoo! jukebox flaw exploits in wild
Zero day vulnerability in music system rapidly targeted.
Vulnerabilities in Yahoo! Jukebox, a free music-management system provided by Yahoo!, have been exploited
by in-the-wild attacks just days after flaws were first disclosed.
Two separate buffer overflow issues in ActiveX controls used by the system were reported on February 2nd and 5th, and
attacks exploiting the first have already been seen, with security experts predicting more to come. The second issue
may also affect some older version of Yahoo! Messenger software, which include the vulnerable .DLL file.
More details of the exploits are at McAfee
here and
