Ready for vote. I vote YES.

------- Comment #12 From Robert Buchholz 2009-07-10 10:53:25 0000 ------- 
client crash, I vote NO. just restart your client or don't use malicious icq
servers.

------- Comment #13 From Stefan Behte 2009-07-10 17:57:07 0000 ------- 
MITM would be possible and could lead to a connection to an evil server, but if
you can do MITM already you can use other means for DOS anyways.

So, I vote NO, too. Closing.

------- Comment #14 From Stefan Behte 2009-07-10 18:47:20 0000 ------- 
I first read server instead of user. Doesn't matter, it's still only a client
crash.

------- Comment #15 From Tobias Heinlein 2009-09-26 20:13:46 0000 ------- 
Since a GLSA has been drafted for a few other issues, this could easily be
included.

------- Comment #16 From Tobias Heinlein 2009-10-22 19:12:14 0000 ------- 
GLSA 200910-02, thanks everyone.
