Description:
Stefan Esser has discovered two vulnerabilities in Trillian, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
An integer overflow exists in the handling of the AIM/Oscar Protocol when allocating memory for DirectIM packets. This can be exploited to corrupt the heap by sending a specially crafted DirectIM packet to a user's system.
A boundary error when parsing Yahoo packets can result in a buffer overflow. This can be exploited by sending a specially crafted YMSG packet with an overly long key name to a vulnerable system. Exploitation of this issue requires the ability to conduct a MitM attack (Man-in-the-Middle).
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code on a vulnerable system with the user's privileges.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in the following versions:
* Trillian 0.71 through 0.74F
* Trillian Pro 1.0
* Trillian Pro 2.0
* Trillian Pro 2.01
Solution:
Update to Trillian 0.74G, Trillian Pro 2.011, or apply patches.
