Subject: And Again. Trillian 'raw 221' Overflow.

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.


Impact:
-------
Medium-High. This could allow arbitary code to be executed on the remote 
victims machine, or just 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 raw 221, which is the user 
mode raw. If Trillian receives a raw 221 with more than 251 bytes as the 
mode, it will crash and overwrite registers. EIP is completly overwriten 
when sent 257 bytes.

To exploit this, the victim needs to be connected to the attackers 'IRC 
Server'.


Solution:
---------
None that i know of. Just dont go on untrusted IRC Server. :P


Exploit:
--------
Proof of flaw DoS Code, (will overwrite EIP with 0x41414141):

/* Trillian-221.c
   Author: Lance Fitz-Herbert
   Contact: IRC: Phrizer, DALnet - #KORP
            ICQ: 23549284

   Exploits the Trillian "Raw 221" 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.
