> [perl] Bound allocation when decoding length-prefixed values and collections
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: AVRO-4299
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-4299
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: perl
> Affects Versions: 1.11.5, 1.12.1
> Reporter: Ismaël Mejía
> Assignee: Ismaël Mejía
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Time Spent: 7.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> A bytes or string value is encoded as a length prefix followed by that many
> bytes of data, and an array or map block is encoded as an element count
> followed by that many items. A malicious or truncated input can declare a
> very large length or count while carrying little or no actual data, causing a
> large allocation before the shortfall is noticed. When the source can report
> how many bytes remain, reject a declared length (or a collection block count)
> that exceeds the bytes actually available before allocating for it. Companion
> to AVRO-4241 (Java).
> _bytes_remaining backs the check (readers that cannot seek to the end yield
> undef and are skipped); decode_bytes consults it directly (via
> _ensure_available) for a declared length above a threshold, while
> decode_array/decode_map consult it via _min_bytes_per_element.
> _ensure_collection_available enforces the per-block limits and skip_block is
> element-aware. Cap-limit rejections raise the dedicated
> Avro::BinaryDecoder::Error::CollectionSize; available-bytes rejections raise
> Avro::Schema::Error::Parse.
> Zero-byte elements (null, a zero-length fixed, or a record with only
> zero-byte fields) consume no input, so the available-bytes check cannot bound
> their count: a tiny payload such as {"type":"array","items":"null"} declaring
> a block count of 200,000,000 would otherwise drive an unbounded allocation.
> In addition to the available-bytes check this therefore caps the cumulative
> count of zero-byte elements (default 10,000,000), applies a structural cap
> (Integer.MAX_VALUE - 8) to every non-zero-byte-element collection (which also
> covers collections read from a source that cannot report the bytes
> remaining), and bounds the array/map skip paths. When set, the
> AVRO_MAX_COLLECTION_ITEMS environment variable caps both limits. This
> supersedes the separate collection-limit sub-task.
