Bad data can cause TProtocolUtil.skip to take a lot of CPU in a do-nothing loop
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-1175
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1175
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Java - Library
Reporter: Jake Donham
If, due to bad data, skip gets to the LIST case with a large size and invalid
elemType, it loops doing nothing (since nothing happens in the recursive call
to skip with an invalid elemType), taking a lot of CPU. Same for the MAP and
SET cases.
The default case in skip should throw a TProtocolException so invalid elemTypes
are caught.
