 Description  « Hide
The Dada sim, which is part of the Surreal/BnT continent is being attacked by a griefer. Objects with random numbers for names offer objects named "Object" to anyone who comes within some radius of it. If you rezz the object named Object, it replicates itself a few times and continues the griefing attack. They also rezz objects named "Object" which look like bamdinton birdies (ostensibly created by Philip Linden.) The objects make sounds as they do their dirty work. This probably falls outside the scope of the Viewer section of the JIRA.... but there is a related issue which defiintely does fall within the scope.

The issue is: If you try to file an Abuse Report, the viewer crashes. You can sometimes start to enter a report, but a crash invariably occurs within a minute or two. Usually, the informational dialog box is slow to appear. (The AR widget actually starts running before the dialog box pops up: the OK button just gets rid of the dialog box, and is not needed to fire up the AR widget.)

This seems to happen with all versions of the viewer. I usually use the MacOS RC 1.22 viewer, but happens with the Impudence viewer as well. If you simply restart the viewer, it hangs up before it can do anything useful, although it does at least pop up the "would you like to send the crash report?" dialog--- however, the viewer works OK the third time if you manage to Force Quit it the second time. The console logs say something about being unable to find a user-settings file.

I got a similar crash when I tried to take a snapshot as well.

Tammy - Thank you for logging this bug and providing such great detail. When you get the chance, please add your environment information (Help > About Second Life). It has been imported for further investigation. Thanks again.

Rather than open a new Jira for this, I am going to see if I can get this pushed through.

Currently a spamming object can send hundreds if not thousands of requests to Animate an avatar, or load a Webpage, or simply drop down Pop up boxes. The problem is exacerbated because setting yourself in BUSY MODE has no effect – the spam popups keep coming, until such time the client crashes.

This has happened, and continues to happen in all versions of SL client, alternate viewers and the like. Personally, I am using Emerald, but happens in SL 1.22.11.113941 as well.

Here is a snapshot of my computer environment, for what it's worth:
GreenLife Emerald Viewer 1.22.11 (105) May 14 2009 13:16:43 (GreenLife Emerald Viewer)

Steps to reproduce:

2) put the victim alt into BUSY MODE

4) observe the victim alt's screen start receiving blue cards to animate the avatar, until there are so many that the client crashes

This issue seems related to VWR-3561 Blue Dialogs can overload the viewer. Please see Soft Linden added a comment - 10/Jun/09 08:29 AM

Resolving SVC-3514 by adding per-agent throttles and dropping script delays would address this issue - marking as dupe

I've got two of these objects in my Lost and Found Folder if anyone needs to look at one. Deleting them seems to stop the spam. And then "Governer Linden" "kindly" returns them to me. And the Spammer has managed to hack out their real name so that it cannot be found by an Abuse Report. How many people get put off by this "feature" of Second Life?

Those attacks run in the Linden Sandboxes everyday. First lesson you hopefully learned is: never take an inventory offer of strangers.

This relates to SVC-2674 and the feature request of a dialog blocker in SVC-3514 .
