    Aim on MAC OS X does not appear to be vulnerable.  It gives a message
    complaining about screenname length.  I can confirm that indeed all
    version of aim 4.3 - 4.8 are vulnerable (on windows).

    If anyone wants the dump file please e-mail me off list. I was able
    to
    overwrite the edi, but I am sure we can find more given enough

    I'm at work so I can't look into this issue too much, but here is
    what I
    found in a couple of minutes. I was able to craft my link to
    overwrite a
    few registers on the stack. I attached the dump I got from my first
    test. I used a larger buffer than what the advisory stated, but not
    much
    larger. On a side note, I had to reboot to get AIM to startup again
    and
    when I tried starting it up again (before the reboot) my machine
    froze.
    On another machine it crashed the entire system when Dr Watson was
    generating the dump file.
