In the latest version of AOL's Instant Messenger, what appears to be another buffer overflow bug has been discovered. Anyone with an older client can send the message <TITLE> to any 1.7.466 user, and the recipient's AOLIM client will crash. <TITLE> can also be put in your profile, effectivly crashing AOLIM for people who look at your profile. While it has no effects on the rest of the system, you may be unable to sign back on to AOLIM. - Karl
