## Affected

- n/a: version range not reported

## Description

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the IRC component in Cerulean Studios Trillian Pro before 3.1.5.1 allow remote attackers to corrupt memory and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) a URL with a long UTF-8 string, which triggers the overflow when the user highlights it, or (2) a font HTML tag with a face attribute containing a long UTF-8 string.

## What to do
