[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-285?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCORE-285.
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
Steve
One can use CoreConnectionPNames#MAX_LINE_LENGTH and CoreConnectionPNames#MAX_HEADER_COUNT parameters in order to set a limit on allowed line length and number of lines in an HTTP message and avoid DoS type of conditions.

> Key: HTTPCORE-285
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-285
> Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpCore
> Affects Versions: 4.1.2
> Reporter: Steve Jones
>
> Invalid HTTP responses are not handled well and can cause OutOfMemoryError errors.
> Most errors can probably be addressed by limiting the length when reading a line.
> For example:
> cat /dev/zero | nc -l 1234 # run a server that spews invalid data
> java org.apache.http.examples.client.ClientWithResponseHandler # modified example to connect to above server
> Result:
> executing request http://localhost:1234/
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
