Sam Rijs commented on COUCHDB-1425:
-----------------------------------
Hey there, you all (especially [~janl])! It's nice that this possesses its own
branch
(https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=couchdb.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/1425-fix-graceful-surrogate-handling).
But wouldn't it be better to merge this into CouchDB in order to close a DoS
security hole?
I understand that this problem will go away with the BigCouch merge, but
seriously -- this is a security related fix and should be merge asap.
> Emitting UTF-8 chars >= 0xD800 in JS map stops design doc from indexing

> Key: COUCHDB-1425
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1425
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JavaScript View Server
> Affects Versions: 1.1.1
> Environment: Mac OS 10.6.8, but not sure that matters.
> Reporter: Jim Klo
> Attachments: utf8.c.diff
>
>
> Was trying determine UTF-8 Char collation, using the following Gist:
> https://gist.github.com/1904807
> It turns out that once the view gets to the document that would emit
> "\uD800", the view server times out and stops indexing that design document.
> This seems like a bug, since I can 'store' a document with UTF-8 chars >=
> 0xD800, but one cannot emit a key with that char in the string.
