Subject: Re: CVE Request: Planeshift buffer overflow
Planeshift is an online multiplayer role playing game which is open source (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlaneShift_(video_game)) and "chatbubbles.xml"
is a sort of configuration file for chat windows inside the game, so I
can't be changed directly by remote users.
