Subject: [PATCH] journald: set a limit on the number of fields (1k)
ff6046
ff6046
We allocate a iovec entry for each field, so with many short entries,
ff6046
our memory usage and processing time can be large, even with a relatively
ff6046
small message size. Let's refuse overly long entries.

CVE-2018-16865
ff6046
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1653861
ff6046
ff6046
What from I can see, the problem is not from an alloca, despite what the CVE
ff6046
description says, but from the attack multiplication that comes from creating
ff6046
many very small iovecs: (void* + size_t) for each three bytes of input message.
