For Trillian users - security release


Tags :


Trillian released version 2.011 Pro and  0.74 Patch G (free version) to cover the following security issues:

A patch is available for all versions of Trillian and Trillian Pro to address recently discovered security vulnerabilities. Specifically, potential overflow conditions existed in the Yahoo! packet parsing routines and AIM direct connection routines. We encourage all users to download the patch.

So grab that patch through either the upgrade or full update of the version.

I do wish Trillian had some sort of optional alert in preferences to let us know when updates were available, mainly for security reasons.  I know AIM and Yahoo! have them, even though they can get annoying for feature releases, maybe categorized alerts would be available.
