Aim on MAC OS X does not appear to be vulnerable. It gives a message
complaining about screenname length. I can confirm that indeed all
version of aim 4.3 - 4.8 are vulnerable (on windows).

eSafe Gateway(tm) has scanned this mail for viruses, vandals and
suspicious attachments and has found it to be CLEAN.

File: smime.p7s (2,256 bytes)
Encoding: Base64
Result: Clean.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If anyone wants the dump file please e-mail me off list. I was able
to
overwrite the edi, but I am sure we can find more given enough
research.vuln-devsecurityfocus.com

I'm at work so I can't look into this issue too much, but here is
what I
found in a couple of minutes. I was able to craft my link to
overwrite a
few registers on the stack. I attached the dump I got from my first
test. I used a larger buffer than what the advisory stated, but not
much
larger. On a side note, I had to reboot to get AIM to startup again
and
when I tried starting it up again (before the reboot) my machine
froze.
On another machine it crashed the entire system when Dr Watson was
generating the dump file.
