CVE-2000-1094 is a classic stack-based buffer overflow in AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) before version 4.3.2229. The flaw is triggered when the client processes a buddyicon command containing an overly long src argument. AIM fails to properly validate the length of attacker-controlled input before copying or handling it in a fixed-size buffer, resulting in memory corruption. The vulnerability can be reached remotely via AIM protocol input and was also reported as triggerable through malicious web content or HTML email that causes the client to process crafted input. Successful exploitation can crash the client and, depending on exploit reliability and target conditions, may allow execution of arbitrary commands.
