[Gaim-devel] CVS gaim 0.60 crash on receipt of certain message - buffer overflow?

[Alistair P. <da...@th...>]

Hi all,

Using a CVS version of gaim 0.60 from about a week ago, gaim crashes 100% reproducibly whenever I receive a message with too many bits of text that get automatically turned into "URLs".  I haven't looked at the code, but am assuming that a buffer must be getting overflowed.  The message that first triggered the crash for me is attached to this email (it's the email filters from a webmail application).  It crashes gaim when sent via ICQ - other protocols not tested.

Sorry for not reporting this bug via the normal mechanism, but the bugs forum seems to be full of bugs that haven't been looked at/assigned and I figure a buffer overflow could be potentially important.

Note that Gaim 0.59.x has been tested and found to not crash - it's only 0.60.

I'm not subscribed to this list, so please cc me or respond to me directly with any questions.

Thanks,

Alistair
