Vulnerability Development: Re: cAIM bug

[Andrew Badr <peanutbadr () HOTMAIL COM>]

I've found that almost any higher ASCII character, when received in an
instant message, will crash cAIM (DoS).

   hi, friend was using cAIM and we were talking and
the message:

Previous message was not received by namewithheld because of error: °TK

the above was sent when i messaged him quickly

then i pasted the error to him in to ask wtf was up and it crashed the
program.

error happens here (from what i can see):
#0 0x2aace418 in aim_parse_incoming_im_middle () from /lib/libfaim.so

not really useful, but someone could take it futher if they want
