CVE-2008-1920
Heap-based buffer overflow in the boxelyRenderer module in the Personal Status Manager feature in ICQ 6.0 build 6043 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted personal status message.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.80%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
