#10261: crash when adding account without @ in jabber
------------------+---------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: ekse | Type: defect
Status: new | Component: libpurple
Version: 2.6.2 | Keywords: crash
------------------+---------------------------------------------------------
Steps to reproduce:
1- Contacts \ Add Contact
2- in "Username", type contact
3- press enter. pidgin crashes
Here is the relevant stacktrace from WinDBG:
0022e658 6861e907 msvcrt!strlen+0x20
0022e678 68616094 libglib_2_0_0!g_win32_locale_filename_from_utf8+0x1d37
0022e698 68602f36 libglib_2_0_0!g_vasprintf+0x24
0022e6b8 68602f58 libglib_2_0_0!g_strdup_vprintf+0x26
0022e6c8 018ac5ca libglib_2_0_0!g_strdup_printf+0x18
0022e6e8 018c941b libjabber!jabber_chat_find+0x4a
0022e728 67cc4a81 libjabber!jabber_roster_add_buddy+0x5b
0022e748 64a514f5 libpurple!purple_account_add_buddy+0xa1
0022e788 63a43955
pidgin_64a40000!pidgin_blist_update_refresh_timeout+0x1025
The trace is pointing in the purple_account_add_buddy() method which is
calling libjabber and is crashing is strlen.
I saw in Ollydbg the string "%s@%s" on the stack frame of strlen. My guess
is that since pidgin is looking in memory until it finds an @ and since it
is not in the string it results in a memory read violation.
libpurple should make sure there is a @ character prior to trying adding a
username.
