Researchers say AIM vulnerable to worm attack
,----[ Quote ]
| The flaw has to do with the way the AOL Instant Messaging (AIM) software uses
| Internet Explorer's software to render HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)
| messages. By sending a maliciously encoded HTML message to an AIM user, an
| attacker could run unauthorized software on a victim's computer or force the
| IE browser to visit a maliciously encoded Web page, said Core Chief
| Technology Officer Ivan Arce.
