             Summary: Potential memory leak in AsyncDeliveryTask
                 Key: FELIX-4663
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4663
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Event Admin
    Affects Versions: eventadmin-1.3.2
            Reporter: Hartmut Lang


EventAdmin 1.3.2 can create an OutOfMemory condition caused by not delivered 
async events.
The problem can occur if an interrupted thread issues an async event (e.g. 
log-event).
In EventAdmin 1.3.2 the async-delivery uses DefaultThreadPool based on 
PooledExecutor. 
If the already interrupted thread enters the execute-method in PooledExecutor 
an InterruptedException is thrown before the TaskExecutor was added to the 
Thread-Pool.
This Exception is catched(not handled, only logged) in the DefaultThreadPool.
As a result the TaskExecuter was not scheduled in the ThreadPool but is still 
part of the m_running_threads.
All new events are added to the pool of the TaskExecuter, adding in a 
increasing LinkedList. The TaskExecutor is never started again. Memory is 
leaking.
Seems that 1.4.x is not vulnerable related to interrupted threads. But the same 
catch-and-not-handle block is used in 1.4.x.
