Yet Another. Trillian 'JOIN' Overflow.


From: "Lance Fitz-Herbert" <fitzies () hotmail com>
Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2002 17:21:06 +0000

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.
