A post on a Chinese-language security forum claims that there is a zero-day vulnerability in Yahoo Messenger. Researchers at Avert Labs have found that this flaw may allow for user-assisted remote-code execution attacks. No code exploiting this flaw has been published yet.
We’re currently working with Yahoo to be able to confirm or deny that this is a zero-day.
We’ll keep you updated.

Hi Karthik,
Good work, luckily nobody here runs any webcams.
Hope everything is going well and you’ve had some time to enjoy the summer.
