CVE-2008-2008
Buffer overflow in the Display Names message feature in Cerulean Studios Trillian Basic and Pro 3.1.9.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a long nickname in an MSN protocol message.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.09%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
