Summary: telepathy-gabble allows sending characters that will get
you disconnected from the XMPP service
Product: Telepathy
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: telepathy-gabble
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I copy pasted to someone a line from gnome-terminal that contained characters
below 0x32 character values and sent it off with empathy. After that I got
disconnected from my jabber server immediately and the message didn't go
through.
The line tries was basically
./appname: line 1: <0x7F>ELF<0x02><0x01><0x01><0x02>: not found
Where <0xnn> was the actual character (rendered with 00nn in a box by pango).
on #telepathy people told that these characters shouldn't be allowed to be sent
at all and Send() should reject it or filter them out or replace with
something.
For example:
<smcv> (reject / replace with <0xfoo> / replace with spaces / delete would seem
to be the vaguely sane possibilities)
It might be useful for there to be a way for advanced client applications to
know something was done, to report it for the user.
