Trillian Flaw Found

Quote:

I wanted to get this out there because I know a lot of you guys use Trillian. Apparently a flaw has been found in Trillian that allows attackers to do everything from shutting down individual programs on computers to gaining complete control of your PC's operating system.

The company said the flaw in Cerulean's software, which folds IM clients from multiple providers, including America Online, Microsoft and Yahoo, into one interface, revolves around an unbounded buffer problem in Trillian 3.1, the latest version of the application.
