Exclamation Zero day security flaws in Yahoo Messenger, AIM
Two serious flaws, including one that could allow code execution have been found in Yahoo Messenger and AOL Instant Messenger. The most serious one has been found in Yahoo Messenger - until it is patched, you are at risk using the Windows client. The AIM flaw is less serious, but also is not yet patched.

Users of multi-IM clients should not be affected.

hmm... never had any problems with it, but I've never tried to do anything fancy. I use it to run yahoo, msn, google, icq, and aim.
