Assuming your XMPP settings require that users must authenticate with
you before being able to send you messages, only your authenticated
users would be able to freeze your client, assuming they knew you were
actually affected by this bug. [...]
So now, you have to run a background check before accepting new buddies?
People might not even be aware of this bug. For a while, I've observed
random unexplained, unreproducible (but not frequent enough to bother me
that much) crashes of pidgin. Now, it's clear that I've been hit by this
bug. A buddy of mine indeed was trying to initiate video calls (without
harmful intentions).
Has anyone come up with some kind of workaround? Now that I know this
bug, I find it *very* annoying... Obviously, squeeze should not be
released with it. Maybe some kind of warning should be put somewhere,
like a popup before accepting video calls, and/or some option to disable
this feature?
Cheers,
