Ismaël Mejía updated AVRO-4299:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
A bytes or string value is encoded as a length prefix followed by that many 
bytes of data, and an array or map block is encoded as an element count 
followed by that many items. A malicious or truncated input can declare a very 
large length or count while carrying little or no actual data, causing a large 
allocation before the shortfall is noticed. When the source can report how many 
bytes remain, reject a declared length (or a collection block count) that 
exceeds the bytes actually available before allocating for it. Companion to 
AVRO-4241 (Java).

_bytes_remaining backs the check (readers that cannot seek to the end yield 
undef and are skipped); decode_bytes consults it directly (via 
_ensure_available) for a declared length above a threshold, while 
decode_array/decode_map consult it via _min_bytes_per_element. 
_ensure_collection_available enforces the per-block limits and skip_block is 
element-aware. Cap-limit rejections raise the dedicated 
Avro::BinaryDecoder::Error::CollectionSize; available-bytes rejections raise 
Avro::Schema::Error::Parse.

Zero-byte elements (null, a zero-length fixed, or a record with only zero-byte 
fields) consume no input, so the available-bytes check cannot bound their 
count: a tiny payload such as {"type":"array","items":"null"} declaring a block 
count of 200,000,000 would otherwise drive an unbounded allocation. In addition 
to the available-bytes check this therefore caps the cumulative count of 
zero-byte elements (default 10,000,000), applies a structural cap 
(Integer.MAX_VALUE - 8) to every non-zero-byte-element collection (which also 
covers collections read from a source that cannot report the bytes remaining), 
and bounds the array/map skip paths. When set, the AVRO_MAX_COLLECTION_ITEMS 
environment variable caps both limits. This supersedes the separate 
collection-limit sub-task.
