ICQ is an instant messenger client for Microsoft Windows systems. ICQ includes support for sound schemes. ICQ sound scheme files are generally given the .scm extension. When installed, a sound scheme places a number of wav sound files in a predictable location within the installation directory of ICQ. An attacker may exploit this vulnerability to place malicious content in a known location. A URL reference to the file may then cause malicious content or code to be executed within local context.
