--------------------------------------
Summary: Gossip should ignore generation numbers too far in the
future
Key: CASSANDRA-8113
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8113
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Reporter: Richard Low
If a node sends corrupted gossip, it could set the generation numbers for other
nodes to arbitrarily large values. This is dangerous since one bad node (e.g.
with bad memory) could in theory bring down the cluster. Nodes should refuse to
accept generation numbers that are too far in the future.
