Yuxuan Wang commented on THRIFT-5322:
-------------------------------------
If it's indeed from ReadString function, and the message is malformed, then
this is expected (from the current implementation) as for ReadString, it
basically first read the length of the string and then allocate that many bytes
and read the full string into the memory. Since the message is malformed, it's
likely that the string length it reads in is unreasonably large.
[~dcelasun] please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there's max string
length defined anywhere in the spec. I guess I can just use the same limit we
use for framed transportations for strings, as a single string certainly cannot
be larger than the whole message.

> Key: THRIFT-5322
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5322
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Go - Library
> Affects Versions: 0.13.0
> Reporter: Juraci Paixão Kröhling
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: main.go
>
>
> I don't yet know all the pieces to this puzzle, and it's quite possible that
> the problem is on our side, but we use the Thrift Go library in the Jaeger
> Agent and we are seeing a case where the memory consumption for a payload of
> 4k bytes to result in a buffer allocation in the compact_protocol.go with
> unreasonable sizes. I found buffers of 1.4GiB while debugging the issue.
>
> This is the code that we are seeing this memory usage:
> [https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/b75e88a33d67ae05ef9b5fa001d2a63a2effe377/lib/go/thrift/compact_protocol.go#L556-L577]

> Here's more information about this, including a reproducer and initial
> diagnostics:

>
> As mentioned above, I'm still getting all the pieces together, but perhaps
> you've seen this before or know what might be going on. What I know for sure
> at the moment is that this happens on malformed payloads, but I would expect
> the library to have an upper limit on the buffer size.
