Secunia Advisory: SA30336  
Release Date: 2008-05-22
Last Update: 2008-06-04

Critical:
Highly critical
Impact: System access
Where: From remote
Solution Status: Partial Fix

Software:Trillian Basic 3.x

CVE-2008-2408 (Secunia mirror)
CVE-2008-2409 (Secunia mirror)



Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Trillian, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) A boundary error within the header parsing code for the MSN protocol can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted X-MMS-IM-FORMAT header with an overly long attribute.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

2) An error within the XML parsing in talk.dll can be exploited to cause a memory corruption via certain malformed attributes within an 'IMG' tag.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

3) A boundary error when parsing messages (e.g. via the AIM network) with overly long attribute values within the FONT tag can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code but requires that the user is tricked into opening a malicious image file.

Solution:
Update to version 3.1.10.0.
