Ryan King commented on CASSANDRA-3017:
--------------------------------------
I think fatal errors are what we're trying to avoid here. The biggest threat is
probably malicious, not accidental (since you need to get the MAGIC and headers
in before this length).

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3017
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
> Assignee: Ryan King

> 0001-use-the-thrift-max-message-size-for-inter-node-messa.patch
>
>
> We protect the server from allocating huge buffers for malformed message with
> the Thrift frame size (CASSANDRA-475). But we don't have similar protection
> for the inter-node Message objects.
> Adding this would be good to deal with malicious adversaries as well as a
> malfunctioning cluster participant.
