Subject: [PATCH] journald: set a limit on the number of fields (1k)
23b3cf
23b3cf
We allocate a iovec entry for each field, so with many short entries,
23b3cf
our memory usage and processing time can be large, even with a relatively
23b3cf
small message size. Let's refuse overly long entries.
23b3cf
23b3cf
CVE-2018-16865
23b3cf
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1653861
23b3cf
23b3cf
What from I can see, the problem is not from an alloca, despite what the CVE
23b3cf
description says, but from the attack multiplication that comes from creating
23b3cf
many very small iovecs: (void* + size_t) for each three bytes of input
23b3cf
message.
