Bug ID: 2343 Summary: exim_tidydb eats infinite memory Product: Exim Version: 4.91 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: bug Priority: medium Component: Unfiled Assignee: ni...@exim.org Reporter: g...@grin.hu CC: exim-dev@exim.org First, I have to apologise, but I was pretty angry and acted before thinking and removed the file which could help, so... close if you can't go on without. exim_tidydb got called on a possibly corrupted wait-remote_smtp file, which resulted using up all the memory (the file was 300k in size and the OOM killer visited at 16GB). Something clearly need a bit more checking in the code because this really wreaks havoc (uses 100% CPU while allocating, and in the end any process can get killed accidentally if OOMkiller isn't guessing right), and since it's running in cron people may find a hard time to figure out what's happening, unless they're awake at 6am. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
