Potential infinite loop in the :copy operation of the POST servlet
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SLING-2211
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2211
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Servlets
Affects Versions: Servlets Post 2.1.0, Servlets Post 2.0.4, Servlets Post
2.0.2
Reporter: Jukka Zitting
The following puts Sling into a loop that will only end when an
OutOfMemoryError is caused by a too large transient space:
$ curl -u admin:admin -F x=y http://localhost:8080/foo
$ curl -u admin:admin -F :operation=copy -F :dest=/foo/bar
http://localhost:8080/foo
The solution would be to either fail early with such recursive copies or to use
the JCR Workspace.copy() operation or a similar mechanism that copies only
previously persisted content, so that the recursion within the transient space
is avoided.
