This vulnerability occurs because of an unchecked buffer in the code that handles the input of a parameter in the MSN Chat control. By invoking this parameter in a particular manner, an attacker can overflow the buffer and can cause code to run.

The legality of sites offering the MSN Chat Control has been in question for some time due to many "Clone Sites" hosting the Chat Control. The Chat Control download is publicly available by Microsoft to download at [1].
