Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Trillian, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service or take complete control of an affected system.
The first issue is caused by a buffer overflow error when parsing messages with overly long attribute values within the FONT tag, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a malicious image.
The second vulnerability is caused by a memory corruption error when parsing XML via "talk.dll", which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code via specially crafted attributes within an "IMG" tag.
The third issue is caused by a stack overflow error within the header parsing code for the msn protocol, which could be exploited to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted "X-MMS-IM-FORMAT" header.
