From 6a6213556a80ab0a9eb926a1d6023b8bf44f2afd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Caswell Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2017 10:51:35 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix out-of-memory condition in conf conf has the ability to expand variables in config files. Repeatedly doing this can lead to an exponential increase in the amount of memory required. This places a limit on the length of a value that can result from an expansion. Credit to OSS-Fuzz for finding this problem.
