AOL Instant Messenger Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Certain versions of Americal Online's Instant Messenger client are vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack.

By modifying incoming packets, it is possible for an attacker with sufficient skills, and access to the network between the affected client and the AOL Instant Messenger server to cause a buffer overflow condition in the IM client, permitting a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
