CVSS v3.1 |
| 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desktop software—specifically the version containing the vulnerable Phobos.dll ActiveX control—is long discontinued and no longer maintained.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. |
| 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. |
| Use-after-free vulnerability in the Sb.SuperBuddy.1 ActiveX control (sb.dll) in America Online (AOL) 9.5.0.1 allows remote attackers to trigger memory corruption or possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed argument to the SetSuperBuddy method. |
| AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 6.1.32.1 on Windows XP allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application hang) via a flood of spoofed SIP INVITE requests. |
| Stack-based buffer overflow in AOL AOLMediaPlaybackControl (AOLMediaPlaybackControl.exe), as used by AmpX ActiveX control (AmpX.dll), might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the AppendFileToPlayList method. |
| The ICQPhone.SipxPhoneManager ActiveX control in America Online ICQ 5.1 allows remote attackers to download and execute arbitrary code via the DownloadAgent function, as demonstrated using an ICQ avatar. |
| Unspecified vulnerability in (1) Deskbar.dll and (2) Toolbar.dll in AOL 9.0 before February 2007 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash) via unknown vectors. |
| Directory traversal vulnerability in AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 5.9 and earlier, and ICQ 5.1 and probably earlier, allows user-assisted remote attackers to write files to arbitrary locations via a .. (dot dot) in a filename in a file transfer operation. |
| The embedded Internet Explorer server control in AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 6.5.3.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified web script or HTML in an instant message, related to AIM's filtering of "specific tags and attributes" and the lack of Local Machine Zone lockdown. NOTE: this issue reportedly exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-4901. |
| The LinkSBIcons method in the SuperBuddy ActiveX control (Sb.SuperBuddy.1) in America Online 9.0 Security Edition dereferences an arbitrary function pointer, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a modified pointer value. |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in a regular-expression parser in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.12.3, as used in Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Evolution, Pidgin, and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), allows remote SSL servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate, related to the cert_TestHostName function. |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in the AOL.PicDownloadCtrl.1 ActiveX control (YGPPicDownload.dll) 9.2.3.0 in America Online (AOL) 9.0 Security Edition allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the AddPictureNoAlbum method, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-5501. |
| Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the AOL AmpX ActiveX control in AmpX.dll 2.6.1.11 in AOL Radio allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long arguments to unspecified methods. |
| Buffer overflow in AOL You've Got Pictures (YGP) Pic Downloader YGPPDownload ActiveX control (AOL.PicDownloadCtrl.1, YGPPicDownload.dll), as used in America Online 9.0 Security Edition, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the SetAlbumName method. |
| Stack-based buffer overflow in the SetClientInfo function in the CDDBControlAOL.CDDBAOLControl ActiveX control (cddbcontrol.dll), as used in America Online (AOL) 7.0 4114.563, 8.0 4129.230, and 9.0 Security Edition 4156.910, and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long ClientId argument. |
| Buffer overflow in AOL You've Got Pictures (YGP) Screensaver ActiveX control allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. |
| Buffer overflow in the AOL.PicDownloadCtrl.1 ActiveX control (YGPPicDownload.dll) 9.2.3.0 in America Online (AOL) 9.0 Security Edition allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the downloadFileDirectory property, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-5502. |
