Yeah I was going to say that in my reply too, and I guess I just thought
that it all depends on the security policy set for Shai's firewall...
But, this is a firewalls list. Would it be propper to just let this go by
and let people learn the hard way why not? I'm not sure...
The subject of this thread says it all.
Here are more links about this:

http://starriders.net/netsisters/security/icqaim.htm
I'll stop there, but that's with 2 seconds of effort:
these were #'s 3, ,4 and 7 of a hotbot search for the exact
phrase 'ICQ exploits', I mean come on...
I think I'm going to add to my .sig the link:
http://129.105.116.5/fravia/howtosea.htm HTSTFW or 'How To Search The Web'
