-----------------------------------
[~rdblue] Hi Ryan, would you be able to delete this issue - I accidentally
pasted it with links to our internal pages (although it didn't show up in the
preview until I posted it), I've updated the description but those links are
still in the history log. I've clone the issue to AVRO-2220 so this can be
safely deleted. Thanks!

> Attached is a sample file created by our Fuzzer running on the C++ library
> that causes an std::bad_alloc due to the string or byte field having an
> invalid negative integer length. The fix is trivial I'll send out a PR soon
> but it's something like:
>
> {code:java}
> void BinaryDecoder::decodeString(std::string& value)
> {
> // Preserve the sign to avoid allocating memory if len is negative.
> ssize_t len = decodeInt();
> if (len < 0) {
> throw Exception(
> boost::format("Cannot have a string of negative length: %1%") % len);
> }
> value.resize(len);
> if (len > 0) {
> in_.readBytes(reinterpret_cast<uint8_t*>(&value[0]), len);
> }
> }{code}
