Dejan Bosanac resolved AMQ-498.
-------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 6.0.0)
                   5.6.0

I added maxFrameSize to the OpenWireFormat with default size of 100MB. 

The size will be checked before message unmarshalling (if size prefix is used) and before reading the content in non-blocking case. This should be suffice to protect the broker from DoS attacks.

I can imagine a few more variants that we should protect from, but we can deal with them in separate issues.
