AOL Security Leak?

Sometime back I read that there is a major security leak in Windows for
Workgroups, such that a WfWg system connected to the Internet on a dial-up
basis becomes a TCP node, accessible to all of cyberspace.

One of my clients recently heard that a similar leak exists when connected
to the Internet via America Online from either WfWg or Windows 3.1. Has
anyone heard such a thing?

Thanks!
