Comment 45 for bug 401028

Whether or not you feel Telepathy is "ready" is not the subject of this bug; the point is an uncaught exception allows Empathy to malfunction in an unexpected manner (the conversation in question will silently fail to transmit or receive messages), which is a remotely exploitable denial of service.

temugen's patch is a great start to addressing the case that everyone is seeing, but in my opinion all the mentioned cases where an uncaught exception would bubble up to the conversation level should be addressed in a patch, then published to karmic-security.

Security team, your opinion?
