To set the record straight, Matt Murphy officially found it 8 days before I did, and reported it to idefense. While idefense and AOL were working toward a patch, I discovered the same vulnerability and others. I attempted to contact AOL, over a week later, I contacted secunia. Over a week from there, no response from AOL to me or Secunia was made. Secunia published my advisory first, and idefense in turn publicized the vulnerability as Secunia made mine public.

While I am not comfortable with disclosing the specifics, you can defend yourself by simply switching clients, (gaim, trillian), or following the instructions here-

Do not click links in AIM until a patch comes out.
