AirDC++ will now just replace invalid data when loading config files: https://github.com/airdcpp/airgit/commit/6ab6e22770d1c6d61a5c25a6d58fb6cdedc67858
Since I generally expect this to affect only (a small number of) favorite hub names and descriptions (and recent hubs in AirDC++), I find the solution good enough for that. I can't think of any common cases that would have caused other files to contain invalid data. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Dcplusplus-team, which is subscribed to DC++. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1649066 Title: Invalid UTF-8 data is not always being rejected Status in AirDC++: New Status in DC++: New Bug description: There are various cases where invalid UTF-8 data is being consumed by the core: 1. Text::convert will return the original string in case of errors (Linux only, respective Windows-specific functions will return an empty string in case of errors) 2. When using "utf-8" encoding in NMDC hubs, the original string will always be returned by conversion functions without validation (generally Linux only since "utf-8" can't be selected from DC++'s GUI) 3. UTF-8 validation is not performed for strings parsed from XML (specifically file/directory names in filelists) This will cause issues especially when the data is processed by external sources/libraries that expect to receive valid UTF-8 data (https://github.com/airdcpp-web/airdcpp-webclient/issues/204). I'm not sure about security implications. Another note: messages that fail UTF-8 validation in ADC hubs are ignored silently. At least Flexhub seems to be having problems with data validation which currently goes unnoticed.
