AOL Desktop 9.6 RTX Buffer Overflow
This module exploits a vulnerability found in AOL Desktop 9.6's Tool\rich.rct component. By supplying a long string of data in the hyperlink tag, rich.rct copies this data into a buffer using a strcpy function, which causes an overflow, and results arbitrary code execution.
