| Discovered By | Brandon Scott ("Xeon") |
| Fixed In Release | 1.1.3 |
Certain malformed SNAC packets sent by other AIM or ICQ users can trigger an infinite loop in Gaim when parsing the SNAC. The remote user would need a custom client, able to generate malformed SNACs.
The OSCAR protocol plugin was modified to drop these malformed packets.
