CVSS v3.1 |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Buffer overflow in AOLserver 3.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary code, via an HTTP request with a long Authorization header. |
| AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 4.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a large number of different fonts followed by an HTML HR tag. |
| AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) allows remote attackers to steal files that are being transferred to other clients by connecting to port 4443 (Direct Connection) or port 5190 (file transfer) before the intended user. |
| Denial of service in AOL Instant Messenger when a remote attacker sends a malicious hyperlink to the receiving client, potentially causing a system crash. |
| AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) client allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a message with a malformed ASCII value. |
| Directory traversal vulnerability in AOLserver 3.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by inserting "..." into the requested pathname, a modified .. (dot dot) attack. |
| Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the log messages in certain Alpha versions of AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 4.4 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script or HTML via an image in the (1) DATA, (2) STYLE, or (3) BINARY tags. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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 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. |
| 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. |
| 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 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. |
| ** 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. |
| 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. |
