Discovered:
-----------
02 September 2002 By Me, Lance Fitz-Herbert (aka phrizer).
Vulnerable Applications:
------------------------
Tested On Trillian .74 and .74, But im guessing older versions are also
vulnerable.
Impact:
-------
Low-High. This could possibly allow arbitary code to be executed on the
remote victims machine, or used as a DoS.
Details:
--------
Trillian is a popular Instant Messageing client, which supports
icq/aim/yahoo/msn and IRC.
An overflow exists in the way Trillian procceses 'PRIVMSG' commands from the
irc server. If the nickname of the sender is larger than 206 bytes, trillian
will crash and overwrite registers.
To exploit this, the victim needs to be connected to the Attackers 'IRC
Server'
Solution:
---------
Dont go on untrusted IRC Servers.
Exploit:
--------
DoS code to prove flaw:
/* Trillian-Privmsg.c
Author: Lance Fitz-Herbert
Contact: IRC: Phrizer, DALnet - #KORP
ICQ: 23549284
Exploits the Trillian Privmsg Flaw.
Tested On Version .74 and .73
Compiles with Borland 5.5 Commandline Tools.
This Example Will Just DoS The Trillian Client,
not particularly useful, just proves the flaw exists.
