Trillian ident daemon buffer overflow
| trillian-identd-bo (10118) |  Low Risk |
Description:
Trillian is a free Windows-based instant messaging client developed by Cerulean Studios. Trillian versions 0.73, 0.74, Pro 1.0, and possibly other versions are vulnerable to a denial of service attack, caused by a buffer overflow in the ident daemon. By sending 418 or more bytes to the identd server running on port 113, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and cause a victim's Trillian client to crash.
Note: It is unknown whether this vulnerability can be exploited to execute code on the system.
Platforms Affected:
- Cerulean Studios, Trillian 0.73
- Cerulean Studios, Trillian 0.74
- Cerulean Studios, Trillian Pro 1.0
