Jochen Wiedmann updated FILEUPLOAD-297:
---------------------------------------
Assignee: Jochen Wiedmann
> Default maximum sizes for requests and files
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FILEUPLOAD-297
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FILEUPLOAD-297
> Project: Commons FileUpload
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Artem Smotrakov
> Assignee: Jochen Wiedmann
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: default_upload_size_limits_v1.patch
>
>
> Currently FileUpload allows setting the maximum allowed size of a complete
> request and the maximum allowed size of a file to be uploaded. However the
> library doesn't set any default limitations. Introducing default values may
> be a little defense-in-depth measure to reduce a risk of (D)DoS attacks for
> applications which forgot to set such limits.
> Here is how other libraries/servers set such default values:
> # nginx sets the maximum allowed size of the client request body to 1MB
> ##
> [http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#client_max_body_size]
> # By default, the IIS 7 upload limit is 30MB
> ## [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/bits/upload-limits]
> # PHP sets max size of post data allowed to 8MB. PHP also sets the maximum
> size of an uploaded file to 2MB
> ## [https://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.post-max-size]
> ## [https://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-max-filesize]
> # Spring Boot specifies the maximum size permitted for uploaded files. The
> default is 1MB. It also specifies the maximum size allowed for
> multipart/form-data requests. The default is 10MB.
> ##
> [https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/api/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/servlet/MultipartProperties.html]
> As you can see, default values look pretty different. I am attaching a patch
> which sets the maximum file size to 2MB and the maximum size of a request to
> 10MB. Adding such limits by default introduces a risk that some applications
> may break, so maybe the numbers should be higher. Please let me know if such
> an update is okay, and I'll create a pull request.
