CVSS v3.1 |
| AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an "AddBuddy" link with the ScreenName parameter set to a large number of comma-separated values, possibly triggering a buffer overflow. |
| AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 4.7.2480 adds free.aol.com to the Trusted Sites Zone in Internet Explorer without user approval, which could allow code from free.aol.com to bypass intended access restrictions. |
| Directory traversal vulnerability in AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 4.8.2790 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs by specifying the program in the href attribute of a link. |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in the goim handler of AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 4.4 through 4.8.2616 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via escaping of the screen name parameter, which triggers the overflow when the user selects "Get Info" on the buddy. |
| Buffer overflow in AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 5.2.3292 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an aim:getfile URL with a long screen name. |
| Buffer overflow in the goaway function in the aim:goaway URI handler for AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 5.5, including 5.5.3595, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long Away message. |
| The Buddy icon file for AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 4.3 through 5.5 is created in a predictable location, which may allow remote attackers to use a shell: URI to exploit other vulnerabilities that involve predictable locations. |
| AOL Instant Messenger 5.5.x and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (client crash) via an invalid smiley icon location in the sml parameter of a font tag. |
| The GIF parser in ateimg32.dll in AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 5.9.3797 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed buddy icon that causes an integer underflow in a loop counter variable. |
| AOL Client Software 9.0 uses insecure permissions for its installation path, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by replacing ACSD.exe with a malicious program. |
| Buffer overflow in YGPPicFinder.DLL in AOL You've Got Pictures (YGP) Picture Finder Tool ActiveX Control, as used in AOL 8.0, 8.0 Plus, and 9.0 Classic, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. |
| The default configuration of the America Online (AOL) client software allows all users to modify a certain registry value that specifies a DLL file name, which might allow local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse program. |
| Unspecified vulnerability in AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 5.9.3861 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (client crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by tricking the user into requesting Buddy Info about a long screen name, which might cause a buffer overflow. |
| AOL 9.0 Security Edition revision 4184.2340, and probably other versions, uses insecure permissions (Everyone/Full Control) for the "America Online 9.0" directory, which allows local users to gain privileges by replacing critical files. |
| AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 4.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application hang or crash) via a buddy icon GIF file whose length and width values are larger than the actual image data. |
| Directory traversal vulnerability in AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 4.8 beta and earlier allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files and execute commands via a Direct Connection with an IMG tag with a SRC attribute that specifies the target filename. |
| Cross-site scripting vulnerability AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 4.5 and 4.7 for MacOS and Windows allows remote attackers to conduct unauthorized activities, such as adding buddies and groups to a user's buddy list, via a URL with a META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" tag to an aim: URL. |
| ** UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED ** A vulnerability was found in AOL AIM Triton 1.0.4. It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the component Invite Handler. The manipulation of the argument CSeq leads to denial of service. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. VDB-256318 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer. |
| AOL versions up to and including 9.5 includes an ActiveX control (Phobos.dll) that exposes a method called Import() via the Phobos.Playlist COM object. This method is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow when provided with an excessively long string argument. Exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user, but only when the malicious HTML file is opened locally, due to the control not being marked safe for scripting or initialization. AOL remains an active and supported brand offering services like AOL Mail and AOL Desktop Gold, but the legacy AOL 9.5 desktop software—specifically the version containing the vulnerable Phobos.dll ActiveX control—is long discontinued and no longer maintained. |
| AOL Desktop 9.6 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in its Tool\rich.rct component when parsing .rtx files. By embedding an overly long string in a hyperlink tag, an attacker can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow due to the use of unsafe strcpy operations. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code when a victim opens a malicious .rtx file. AOL Desktop is end-of-life and no longer supported. Users are encouraged to migrate to AOL Desktop Gold or alternative platforms. |
