Subject: AIM Arbitrary HTML Display in Notification Window

Arbitrary HTML can be readily displayed in notification windows generated
by AOL Instant Messenger when the window of origin is not the main focus.
This vulnerability is known to be present at least in version 6.1.41.2
(which is the current release). It appears to display any form of
HTML-compliant code. More details can be provided on request.
