    There is a bug in the newer versions of AOL's Instant Messenger that will
cause the client to crash when exploited.  All builds of version 2.0 that
I've tested seem to be vulnerable, although I have not done extensive
version testing.  AOL was notified of this about two weeks ago.  To exploit
this bug, send a hyperlink in this format: aim:addbuddy?=screenname

Have fun,
