Wasn't this service updated just a few months ago?

Symantec on Tuesday uncovered a new avenue that hackers could use to exploit a buffer overflow vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Messenger Service, one that, if packaged within a self-propagating worm, could spread across a network like wildfire.
According to analysis done by Symantec's DeepSight Threat Analyst Team, the Windows Messenger Service vulnerability can be exploited by a single UDP broadcast, allowing a wholesale compromise of all vulnerable systems on the targeted network.
"This newfound exploitation path dramatically increases the speed at which a worm could propagate within a local network, making widespread infection theoretically almost instantaneous," the threat team wrote.
