And yet another one that seems to appear repeatedly on client laptops: AOL. As stated in previous posts, be warned.

Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability
in AOL, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"CDDBControlAOL.CDDBAOLControl" ActiveX control (cddbcontrol.dll) when
processing the first argument passed to the "SetClientInfo()" method.
This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing
an overly long string (more than 256 bytes).
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when a user e.g. visits a malicious website with Internet Explorer.
The vulnerability is related to:
SA20861
The vulnerability is confirmed in America Online 7.0 revision 4114.563,
AOL 8.0 revision 4129.230, and AOL 9.0 Security Edition revision
4156.910. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Updates are automatically available for AOL 9.x users when logging into the AOL service.
Users of AOL versions earlier than 9.0 are urged to upgrade to the latest version of the AOL software.
