Not Vulnerable:

Mirabilis ICQ Message Session Window Denial Of Service Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been discovered in ICQ. The problem occurs when rendering HTML code within message window advertisements. Specifically, the HTML rendering library implemented by ICQ fails to handle exceptional HTML table tag attributes. As a result, it may be possible to trigger a denial of service against a target client.

Due to the lack of an authentication mechanism used while accepting advertisements, an attacker may be capable of exploiting this by impersonating an ICQ ADS server.

This vulnerability affects Mirabilis ICQ Pro 2003a and earlier.
