[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-745?page=comments#action_12436439 ] Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSERVER-745: ---------------------------------------------
This issue is not really likely to occurs : - we must have a PDU which is more than 256 bytes long - and the length part should be splitted However, this is still a serious bug (and easy to fix :). Code reviews are *good* > Decoding of lengths can fail if the PDU is splitted > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DIRSERVER-745 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-745 > Project: Directory ApacheDS > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny > Assigned To: Emmanuel Lecharny > > While reading the ASN.1 decoder code, I found a pretty nasty case where the > decoding can fail during length decoding : > if the length is more than 2 bytes long, and if the PDU is splitted just > after the second byte, then we can have a BufferUnderFlowException. > This can occur because we are reading the buffe without controlling that we > still have some remaining bytes. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
