@jobertabma: Hackers, did you find a SQL injection in an ORDER BY clause and you're unable to guess the column names? Use CASE WHEN <query> THEN RAND() ELSE 1 END to extract data. It'll randomize the order when <query> evaluates to true and remain static when false.

The bug relied on the type conversion from int to unsigned char. As you can see:
If GetDataBlock_ return -1, scd->done in line 400 will set to True, and stop the while-loop. But it will never be executed because the definition of count is unsigned char, it’s always be a positive from 0 to 255. So the result is, one single GIF can make an infinite loop and exhausted the server resource.
