TITLE:
Trillian MSN SSL Certificate Validation Security Issue

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35620

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35620/

DESCRIPTION:
Gabriel Menezes Nunes has reported a security issue in Trillian,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing
attacks.

The security issue is caused due to the application improperly
verifying the validity of the SSL certificate presented when logging
in to MSN. This can be exploited to spoof a valid server and obtain
the user's MSN username and password via e.g. a man-in-the-middle
attack

The security issue is reported in Trillian Basic version 3.1. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not rely on the security provided by SSL when logging in to MSN
using Trillian.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
