As a follow-up, the issue appears to be caused by an invalid .vtf spray. I will
not post the associated file on the mailing list, but will provide it upon
request.
When the .vtf is loaded by the client it seems to cause a memory access
violation, which results in the game crashing. This also applies to players
that attempt to view the spray, accidentally or otherwise.

Has anyone been encountering players that seem to be able to cause someone's
Team Fortress 2 client to close to the desktop?
We've recently had a player performing these actions, but are unsure how they
are doing it or how to protect against it. The player in question was known as
"lunar" with ID STEAM_0:1:63519733, for reference purposes.
I have provided a copy of the dmp files generated from the incident via the
link below. I feel this is rather severe as we've had our servers emptied from
this exploit, so if we can get a solution then it would be to everyone's
benefit.
