MSN Messenger bug

 

Release Date:

20/11/03

 

Discovery date:

Sometime around 2001 or 2000

 

Versions Affected:

------------------

Msn messenger 1.0 -> msn messenger 6.0.0602

Windows messenger all versions

 

Description:

-----------

A bug exists in Microsofts msn messenger client.

MSN messenger improperly parses the fields during

file transfer invitation requests. Particularly

the request ip field. This makes it possible to

trick the msn client into giving *away* the users

ip address without him/her accepting the file

transfer first.

Paulo, as Jim has mention, yes its possible. In most chat clients you are at one point or another making a direct connection between computers. And when you connect one on one both computers need the address (IP) of the other to perform the communications.

 

Here is a site that explains how.

In most clients you can avoid giving out your IP by turning off the options that will expose your IP. In IRC chat I use mIRC and I specifically turn off DCC and do not accept any private chats with anyone.
