DoS-ing with TradeRequests

Post by treo »

Hello there :)
I have experienced that someone can DoS a player off the server with a lot of Trade Requests. So here is the backtrace I got while reproducing it:
Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

This was made through a special prepareted client so it might be falseyfied, because this time also my frame rate got down, the times before it didn't but I also ran an sdl version without debuging symbols.

The next thing is while I tried it with an usual client - better a usual player tried to DoS me with trade requests (I asked him to do it!) a Trade Window Opend but neither he nor I could close it, the only way to get rid of it was to reenter the game.
