    Critical Flaw found in AIM

    Looks like it has to do with a problem with the way AIM proccesses away messages. Hopefully a fix will be out soon.

    Me too, I thought it was "buffer overflow" for short, which works too. We learned about this stuff in my Computer Organization class, you basically can push assembly code instructions onto a person's computer by sending them a super long away message with instructions embedded in it...

  4. Overflow was in my mind as well, from the small bits of coding I know.
