For you free (non pro version) Trillian users, a security wanring
Tags :Announcement
I use Pro but wanted to pass this before I
talked more on Monday's blog topic.
Security researchers
have issued a warning of a flaw in the Trillian cross-platform instant
messaging (IM) client that puts users at risk of malicious hacker attacks.
The vulnerability has been reported
in Trillian 0.74i, which is a free version of the product distributed by
Cerulean Studios.
An advisory from Secunia attached a
"moderately critical" rating to the flaw, saying it exists in
the MSN Module, which allows the client to connect to Microsoft's chat
network.
Secunia said the vulnerability is caused
by a boundary error within the MSN module and can be exploited to cause
a buffer overflow by passing an overly long string (about 4096 bytes) from
an MSN Messenger server.
