SecurityTracker Alert ID: 1005264 |
|
SecurityTracker URL: http://securitytracker.com/id/1005264
|
|
CVE Reference:
GENERIC-MAP-NOMATCH
(Links to External Site)
|
Date: Sep 21 2002
|
Impact:
Denial of service via network, Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
|
Exploit Included: Yes
|
Version(s): .74
|
Description:
Another buffer overflow was reported in the Trillian instant messaging client. A remote user with an IRC server may be able to execute arbitrary code on the target user's system.
It is reported that if Trillian joins a channel with a name larger than 206 bytes, a buffer overflow will be triggered.
A remote user with an IRC server could respond to a Trillian client's JOIN command with a specially crafted response to cause the client to crash or to execute arbitrary code.
Some demonstration exploit code (to trigger a denial of service condition) is included in the Source Message.
|
Impact:
A remote IRC server can cause the Trillian client to crash or execute arbitrary code in response to a JOIN command.
|
Solution:
No solution was available at the time of this entry.

Subject: [Full-Disclosure] Yet Another. Trillian 'JOIN' Overflow.
|
Discovered:
-----------
02 September 2002 By Me, Lance Fitz-Herbert (aka phrizer).
Vulnerable Applications:
------------------------
Tested On Trillian .73 and .74, But im guessing older versions are also
vulnerable, and possibly version 1.0 Pro.
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 'JOIN' commands from the
irc server. If Trillian joins a channel that 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 Server :P
Exploit Code:
-------------
Prove of flaw, DoS Code:
/* Trillian-Join.c
Author: Lance Fitz-Herbert
Contact: IRC: Phrizer, DALnet - #KORP
ICQ: 23549284
Exploits the Trillian Join 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.
