Yahoo! Messenger Overflow

Impact: 
The identified Yahoo service running is subject to several buffer overflows. This can in some cases lead to command execution. An attacker can by this compromise your system.
Solution: 
It is recommended to only allow access to trusted people when chatting with them. This can be done at firewall level. Make sure you are using the latest version from http://messenger.yahoo.com/ and there click on Get it now or Download. NOTE: In this check we only relied on the presences of the identified port.

So it is recommended that you verify the service running on the port and if you KNOW you and can verify that another service is run on the port that is not equal to what we detected please ignore this check.
