Michi Mutsuzaki commented on ZOOKEEPER-2146:
--------------------------------------------
Does the client ever send a zero-length packet? If not, maybe change the check
to len <= 0?
> BinaryInputArchive readString should check length before allocating memory

> I recently observed a problem caused by malformed packets. ZK server crashed
> because of OutOfMemoryError.
> The reason is BinaryInputArchive didn't check the length before allocating
> memory in readString():
> {code}
> public String readString(String tag) throws IOException {
> int len = in.readInt();
> if (len == -1) return null;
> byte b[] = new byte[len];
> ...
> {code}
> I suggest to add the same check as in readBuffer.
