[jira] [Commented] (AMQ-4986) tightEncoding=false + failover triggers Broker memory exhaust

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-4986?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13878708#comment-13878708 ]

-----------------------------------

Are you mixing old versions of clients with newer broker versions ?

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-4986
>             Project: ActiveMQ
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Broker
>    Affects Versions: 5.6.0, 5.7.0, 5.8.0, 5.9.0
>         Environment: java 1.7
> Client library 5.5.1
>            Reporter: Felix Ehm
>            Priority: Critical
>             Fix For: 5.10.0

> We experience this problem in combination with 5.5.1 client and the wireformat.tightEncodingEnabled=false+ failover:
> Scenario:
> 1. start standard broker
> 2. start Client (with e.g. a MessageListener) with failover protocol: e.g. failover:(tcp://123.123.123.123:61616?wireformat.tightEncodingEnabled=false)
> 3. wait around 30sec (default for inactivity check)
> Result:
> The client closes the connection and re-tries to the broker which in turn throws the following exception:

> The problem here is that the BaseDataStreamMarshaller reads an int from the buffer and re-uses it immediately to allocate a byte array:
> {code}
> protected byte[] looseUnmarshalByteArray(DataInput dataIn) throws IOException {
>         byte rc[] = null;
>         if (dataIn.readBoolean()) {
>             int size = dataIn.readInt();
>             rc = new byte[size];   // PROBLEM! What happens if size has been read and interpreted wrongly ? 
>             dataIn.readFully(rc);
>         }
>         return rc;
>     }
> {code}
> In our case the dadaIn.readInt() read an int number of 785.477.224 which triggers the broker to allocate blindly this amount of mem.
> We do not know yet what triggers the wrong byte sequence from the client, but on the brokers side, there should be a protection against this case.
