Dulles, Va.-based America Online Inc. recommends users upgrade to the latest beta version of AIM released this week. “This is not a passive issue,” said AOL spokesman Andrew Weinstein. “It requires the user to actively click onto a malicious URL supplied in an instant message or embedded in a Web page.” Weinstein said the problem…

New Adware Spams Instant Messenger

New Adware Spams Instant Messenger
Buddies 02/11/2004 05:44 PM
The ongoing saga of adware companies sneaking in annoying terms of service clauses where you (because you, like everyone else, didn't read the terms of service) agree to let them spam everyone you know, has now expanded to instant messaging technologies. Last night, I received an IM from an acquaintance who is on my AIM buddy list, apologizing if I had received an IM from him with a link to some game (I hadn't). I didn't think much of it, but today reports are appearing that it's the latest adware trick. Some company is offering a silly downloadable game, but hidden in the terms of service is the fact that they're going to IM everyone in your buddy list with a link to the game as well, and continue on the annoying process. AOL is apparently unhappy that someone other than themselves is using AIM for annoying advertisements, and are saying they may take legal action against the company.

Highly critical exploit found in AOL
Instant Messenger 08/09/2004 01:28 PM
Ryan McGeehan of TheBillyGoatCurse.com has reported a vulnerability in AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the handling of "Away" messages and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by supplying an overly long "Away" message (about 1024 bytes). A malicious website can exploit this via the "aim:" URI handler by passing an overly long argument to the "goaway?message" parameter.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code on a user's system when e.g. a malicious website is visited with certain browsers.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 5.5.3595. Other versions may also be affected.

Various other issues were also reported, where a large amount of resources can be consumed on a user's system.

AOL was contacted but has not responded.
