Some Guy’s Girlfriend Finds A DoS Vulnerability In Gaim. . .

While chatting on Gaim, he said something she disliked and she responded with:

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Gaim replaced each of the :( with the graphic smiley :( and cause Gaim to choke, also driving his CPU usage to 100%. He was able to close down Gaim but when he reloaded it, the program crashed again. He was able to use Gaim once again after he deleted the :( post from his logs.

(Have fun with it and try it on your friends)
