We have recently released an advisory about a vulnerability within Microsoft MSN Messenger software.

The vulnerability is another buffer overflow vulnerability that can lead to an attacker executing code. This is a very serious vulnerability.

You need the patch installed as soon as you all can.

It is recommended that all MSN Messenger users need to go to: http://messenger.msn.com/download/download.asp?client=1&update=1 and install the latest version of MSN Messenger.
EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE IT.
