Summary

ICQ 98 beta on Windows NT leaks the internal IP address of a client in the TCP data segment of an ICQ packet instead of the public address, which may lead to the leakage of sensitive information about the client or internal network configuration.

Risk Assessment

The disclosure of the internal IP address may allow remote attackers to gain insights into the organization's network infrastructure, increasing the risk of attacks on internal systems.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the ICQ software to the latest version to minimize the risk of information leakage and to implement additional security measures such as a firewall.
