Comments and Reviews
This program does not save the profile or retain any changes I make while using it. Its every launch is like the first one. Windows 8.1 32 bit.
uTox 0.18.1 code quality is poor. As a result, uTox has a lot of 0day vulnerabilities. For example, uTox through 0.18.1 doesn't validate incoming file name, allowing remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary file on victim's machine. Remote attacker may overwrite ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile as well, causing remote code execution. Also uTox 0.18.1 has remote heap overflow in function native_autoselect_dir_ft(), allowing remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
