Tamás Cservenák commented on MINDEXER-28:
-----------------------------------------
oops: ex.initCause(e), not like above.... fixed in code too.
> OOME when fed garbage
> ---------------------
>
> Key: MINDEXER-28
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MINDEXER-28
> Project: Maven Indexer
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0
> Environment: JDK 6u24 on Ubuntu x86
> Reporter: Jesse Glick
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.1.1
>
>
> See http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197988#c1 for background.
> Without the fix of MINDEXER-20 in place, the indexer will throw an
> {{OutOfMemoryError}} when given http://www.jasperforge.org/maven2/.index/
> since that site serves junk HTML with a 200 HTTP status.
> Since the code allocates an array whose length is a 32-bit int taken from an
> unverified source, it would be best to somehow handle the case that a random
> large number is read and an OOME is thrown - perhaps rethrowing as an
> {{IOException}}.
> MINDEXER-20 should prevent the bug precondition from being triggered nearly
> as often, but the input could randomly happen to begin with 0x01.
