CVSS v3.1 |
| 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. |
| 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desktop software—specifically the version containing the vulnerable Phobos.dll ActiveX control—is long discontinued and no longer maintained. |
| The DailyFinance - Stocks & News (aka com.aol.mobile.dailyFinance) application 2.0.2.1 for Android does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate. |
| Directory traversal vulnerability in iChat in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8, and 10.6 before 10.6.4, when AIM is used, allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files via directory traversal sequences in an inline image-transfer operation. |
| AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 1.0.1.2 does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Denial of service in AOL Instant Messenger when a remote attacker sends a malicious hyperlink to the receiving client, potentially causing a system crash. |
| 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 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. |
| AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) client allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a message with a malformed ASCII value. |
| The file transfer component of AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) reveals the physical path of the transferred file to the remote recipient. |
| Format string vulnerability in AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 4.1.2010 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary commands by transferring a file whose name includes format characters. |
