RE: [hlds_linux] Serious Bug Report : Steam Friends Exploit

You should remove users that do this from your friends list, you cannot
receive unsolicited messages via the friends system (i.e you need to add
people to your friends list first). We are working on a fix for this
problem as well.

[hlds_linux] Serious Bug Report : Steam Friends Exploit

2006-06-27 Thread trunky

Hi,

We have a problem with steam friends, if any user sends a message of XXX
characters to another user, it will crash their steam. If the original user
is in-game, they will crash back to desktop also, if the message originator
is not in-game the recipient still crashes to desktop.

Not sure how many characters this is, but easilly found by continuing to
type a message untill no more characters are accepted.

This is starting to be a really annoying exploit, I know it has been
reported via the valve list server, I just wanted to make sure it was
reported to you directly and that you could report an estimated fix time.

Regards,

Roger
