TITLE:
Trillian Display Name Processing Memory Corruption

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA29952

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/29952/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Trillian Basic 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/4759/
Trillian Pro 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/5467/

DESCRIPTION:
Juan Pablo Lopez Yacubian has discovered a vulnerability in Trillian,
which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the processing of
"Display Names" in messages. This can be exploited to cause a memory
corruption by e.g. setting the "Display Name" to a specially crafted,
overly long string and sending an overly long message to another user
using the MSN protocol.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code but
requires that the attacker is in the contact list of the target
user.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.1.9.0 Basic. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Add only trusted users to the contact list.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
