### Description
Certain malformed SNAC packets sent by other AIM or ICQ users can trigger an
infinite loop in Gaim when parsing the SNAC. The remote user would need a
custom client, able to generate malformed SNACs.
### Mitigation
The OSCAR protocol plugin was modified to drop these malformed packets.
