Colloquy is an IRC and SILC chat client with a Mac-style user interface. The MoAB team found a way of sending a malformed invitation string that causes Colloquy to fail.
According to the MoAB disclosure, the issue is related to functions provided by Apple's AppKit framework that have similar behaviour to printf(). Other applications using these functions are said to be vulnerable to similar problems.
Fortunately, "Due to a bug in CoreFoundation, these issues are currently difficult to exploit for code execution", but 'difficult' is not the same as 'impossible'.
Colloquy 2.1 build 3558 - "Fixes a security vulnerability (and crash) when someone invites you to a room with special characters" - was released within hours of the disclosure.
