I third that notion, would very much like to see the outcome of this whole situation.
I'm also curious about the outcome on this. I see OP doesn't have negative trust anymore, so this bug was most likely real and important.
Bump.
Was this really a DoS bug in the client? Did it get fixed?

Wow, you guys are such a great community. Do you have a link to the project file?
Evil
The file is on my desktop - the link it created is a few posts up. I'm away from my computer but as soon as I get back I will post the link to it.
Should be about an hour or so.

Has he received any bounty for discovering this bug? If the reply is yes, how much he has received?
Doesn't look like it's the DOS bug but here is gmaxwell crediting Evil with finding a bug https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/5770
This is a completely different topic, but thanks to Gmaxwell for the credits. I really appreciate that.
I would assume their silence means they are actively working on a solution. Great to see these bugs addressed and credited in the proper way.

Actually being able to get a third party to process control characters would be a vector for some shenanigans. Nice catch by Evil Knievel there.
Thanks for linking to that pull request.

The silence is becoming slightly awkward. It seems that there is indeed an issue. Is this issue being addressed at the moment? Is there a discussion about it elsewhere that I'm not aware of?
What gives?

Do we have six confirmations yet?

EvilKnievel has a negative rep for a similar thing from gmaxwell back in 2014. Not sure if he would take him seriously on this now.
Please check again.

Just for the record: The bitcoind node, that redsn0w has set up on a VPS Server was shotdown within less than 10 seconds; the bitcoind node consumed so much CPU and memory that the entire server stopped working. Even a login via SSH was not possible anymore.
I can "confirm" but it was only a small droplet with the basic specifics. These were the ghraps:
I don't know what he did, I've suggested him to try with other linux machine (not vps) and maybe someone here can help him.
How do you explain this? ^
No comments from @gmaxwell yet?
Doesn't look like it
Maybe he is busy and he can't reply I do not know. Is this bug real or not ? Because now a lot of people (various nodes) have updated their client.
