CVSS v3.1 |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Buffer overflow in www.tol module in America Online (AOL) 5.0 may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via a long URL in a link. |
| 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 AOLserver 3.4.2 Win32 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and read password-protected files via a URL that directly references the file. |
| Buffer overflow in AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 4.2 and later allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long AddExternalApp request and a TLV type greater than 0x2711. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 4.7.2480 adds free.aol.com to the Trusted Sites Zone in Internet Explorer without user approval, which could allow code from free.aol.com to bypass intended access restrictions. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Buffer overflow in the goaway function in the aim:goaway URI handler for AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 5.5, including 5.5.3595, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long Away message. |
| 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. |
| Denial of service in AOL Instant Messenger when a remote attacker sends a malicious hyperlink to the receiving client, potentially causing a system crash. |
| The file transfer component of AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) reveals the physical path of the transferred file to the remote recipient. |
| AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 4.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application hang or crash) via a buddy icon GIF file whose length and width values are larger than the actual image data. |
| ** 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. |
| 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. |
