A vulnerability has been reported in Trillian, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when word-wrapping UTF-8 strings in a message window. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a user views an overly long, specially crafted message using e.g. the MSN protocol.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in version 3.1.5.1. Other versions may also be affected.
