OOME when fed garbage
---------------------
Key: MINDEXER-28
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MINDEXER-28
Project: Maven Indexer
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 4.0.0
Environment: JDK 6u24 on Ubuntu x86
Reporter: Jesse Glick
Priority: Minor
See http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197988#c1 for background.
Without the fix of MINDEXER-20 in place, the indexer will throw an
{{OutOfMemoryError}} when given http://www.jasperforge.org/maven2/.index/ since
that site serves junk HTML with a 200 HTTP status.
Since the code allocates an array whose length is a 32-bit int taken from an
unverified source, it would be best to somehow handle the case that a random
large number is read and an OOME is thrown - perhaps rethrowing as an
{{IOException}}.
MINDEXER-20 should prevent the bug precondition from being triggered nearly as
often, but the input could randomly happen to begin with 0x01.
