Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1631: ----------------------------------- Ok, thank you. Y, you're right. I have a patch semi-ready that combines your suggestion with [~malejpavouk]'s original subclassing recommendation. Let's wait over the weekend to see what we hear back from commons-compress on their mail list. I'll commit this before 1.15. We'll do detection as you recommend, and we can allow users to configure max table size via CompressorParser. I'll set the default to 20 MB? Unless there are objections/reservations offered by fellow devs, of course. > OutOfMemoryException in ZipContainerDetector > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-1631 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1631 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Bug > Components: detector > Affects Versions: 1.8 > Reporter: Pavel Micka > Attachments: cache.mpgindex > > > When I try to detect ZIP container I rarely get this exception. It is caused > by the fact that the file looks like ZIP container (magics), but in fact its > random noise. So Apache decompress tries to find the size of tables (expects > correct stream), loads coincidentally huge number (as on the given place > there can be anything in the stream) and tries to allocate array of several > GB in size (hence the exception). > This bug negatively influences stability of systems running Tika, as the > decompressor can accidentally allocate as much memory as is available and > other parts of the system then might not be able to allocate their objects. > A solution might be to add additional parameter to Tika config that would > limit size of these arrays. If the size would be bigger, it would throw > exception. This change should not be hard, as method > InternalLZWInputStream.initializeTables() is protected. > Exception in thread "pool-2-thread-2" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap > space > at > org.apache.commons.compress.compressors.z._internal_.InternalLZWInputStream.initializeTables(InternalLZWInputStream.java:111) > at > org.apache.commons.compress.compressors.z.ZCompressorInputStream.<init>(ZCompressorInputStream.java:52) > at > org.apache.commons.compress.compressors.CompressorStreamFactory.createCompressorInputStream(CompressorStreamFactory.java:186) > at > org.apache.tika.parser.pkg.ZipContainerDetector.detectCompressorFormat(ZipContainerDetector.java:106) > at > org.apache.tika.parser.pkg.ZipContainerDetector.detect(ZipContainerDetector.java:92) > at > org.apache.tika.detect.CompositeDetector.detect(CompositeDetector.java:61) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
