DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in AOL, which can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing Rich
Files (".rtx") and can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer
overflow via a specially crafted file.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires tricking a user into opening a malicious ".rtx" file.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 9.6 (Revision 4340.130).
Other versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Do not open Rich File (".rtx") files from untrusted sources.
