CORE-2007-0817: Remote Command execution, HTML and JavaScript injection vulnerabilities in AOL's Instant Messaging software

*Other workarounds (un-official)*
Workaround #1: Users running AIM on Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or Windows
Server 2003 SP1 may implement Microsoft's "Internet Explorer Local Machine
Zone Lockdown" recommendations to mitigate risk. This will not fix the
reported bugs but will reduce the risk of exploitation significantly.
To enable Local Machine Zone Lockdown for your AIM client, go to the
following registry key:
