http://www.ozemail.com.au/~geoffch/security/aim/preliminary. htm Don't know much about it except that it's perhaps sending an invalid ascii or unicode character, but if you send "̂" (no quotes) to a remote user, it will crash their AIM session, and possibly their computer. This bug does not exist in 3.5, and if you download 3.0 today, AOL has fixed this hole w/o telling anyone about it (i.e. if you downloaded 3.0 in the not recent past, you will be vulnerable). If the "attacker" is running the unpatched AIM, it will crash his/her computer as well. gAIM doesn't have this vulnerability.
