Discussion

Cerulean Studios Trillian Skins Colors File Name Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Trillian is a freely available instant message software package. It is designed for use on the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Trillian skins files are XML forms designed to allow the easy creation of custom interfaces, or "skins" for the Trillian client. When a colors file name of excessive length is supplied in a skin, a buffer overflow occurs. This could make it possible to execute arbitrary code through a malicious skin.
