    look at the conclusion of the advisory:
    
    Conclusion
    So is prolly possible execute code in the system, and for sure crash the

    i wrote the advisory because its a spreaded program not because it was
    dangerous:)

    ill make some test and send some string from the SERVER to the client to see
    if i can crash it up -if i got the time-
