Heap-based buffer overflow the "Answering Service" function in ICQ 2003b Build 3916 allows local users to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long string in the "AwayMsg Presets" value in the ICQ\ICQPro\DefaultPrefs\Presets registry key.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old local crash issue in ICQ 2003b Build 3916. A user with local access could place an overly long Away Message Presets value and crash the ICQ application. The sources do not show active exploitation, remote attack, or a named patch. Exposure is likely limited to endpoints still running ICQ 2003b Build 3916. Modern enterprise exposure should be rare unless legacy software images, unmanaged desktops, or archived communication workflows still include this client. Treat this as a low-priority legacy software hygiene issue unless the affected ICQ client remains installed on business systems. The practical goal is removal or isolation of obsolete software, not emergency response. Mitigation focus: Inventory and remove ICQ 2003b Build 3916 where found.; Check vendor or archival guidance for a supported upgrade path.; Retire the affected client from business communication workflows..
