* g10/parse-packet.c (MAX_KEY_PACKET_LENGTH): New. (MAX_UID_PACKET_LENGTH): New. (MAX_COMMENT_PACKET_LENGTH): New. (MAX_ATTR_PACKET_LENGTH): New. (parse_key): Limit the size of a key packet to 256k. (parse_user_id): Use macro for the packet size limit. (parse_attribute): Ditto. (parse_comment): Ditto. -- Without that it is possible to force gpg to allocate large amounts of memory by using a bad encoded MPI. This would be an too easy DoS. Another way to mitigate would be to change the MPI read function to allocate memory dynamically while reading the MPI. However, that complicates and possibly slows down the code. A too large key packet is in any case a sign for broken data and thus gpg should not use it. Reported-by: Hanno Böck GnuPG-bug-id: 1823 Signed-off-by: Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org>
