Cerulean Studios · Trillian · CVE-2003-0520
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Trillian versions 0.74 through 1.0
Description:
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a crash, when a malformed `TypingUser` string is received in an instant message. This can lead to loss of availability for the service.
Recommendations:
For Trillian versions 0.74 through 1.0, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the handling of `TypingUser` messages until a patch is available. Restrict access to instant messaging functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
