Microsoft NetMeeting Clipboard Vulnerability

Malicious users of Microsoft NetMeeting can copy the contents of the clipboard of another NetMeeting client without their knowledge.

When two users are connected using NetMeeting version 1.2, and they have the chat window open they can type Ctrl-C in the input area having selected no text and the contents of the remote user's clipboard will be pasted if there is something in their clipboard.
