These vulns are all extremely critical !!! We'll probably see a worm pretty soon for the 1st one ....
I can't believe that hole in windows messenger service wasn't found any sooner ... how simple can it get ??? maximum MESSAGE LENGTH is not checked ??? c'mon ... i can imagine the coders overlooked something here and there but not checking the MAIN input variable of your application is just plain dumb. (and weird it wasnt found sooner !?!?!)
If anybody sees rogue code for any of these I would like to know so I can force my manager to approve the bloody patches.
