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desktop software—specifically the version containing the vulnerable Phobos.dll ActiveX control—is long discontinued and no longer maintained.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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| The embedded Internet Explorer server control in AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 6.1.41.2 and 6.2.32.1, AIM Pro, and AIM Lite does not properly constrain the use of mshtml.dll's web script and HTML functionality for incoming instant messages, which allows remote attackers to place HTML into unexpected contexts or execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated by writing arbitrary HTML to a notification window, and writing contents of arbitrary local image files to this window via IMG SRC. |
| AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 6.1.32.1 on Windows XP allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed header value in a SIP INVITE message, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-3350. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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 buffer overflows in the AIM PicEditor 9.5.1.8 ActiveX control in YGPPicEdit.dll in AOL You've Got Pictures (YGP) Picture Editor allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash) via a long string in the (1) DisplayName, (2) FinalSavePath, (3) ForceSaveTo, (4) HiddenControls, (5) InitialEditorScreen, (6) Locale, (7) Proxy, and (8) UserAgent property values. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
