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.
