[PATCH vd_agent_linux 03/10] Avoids uncontrolled "active_xfers" allocations

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Frediano Ziglio <freddy77@xxxxxxxxx>

Limit the number of active file transfers possibly causing DoSes
consuming memory in "active_xfers".

This issue was reported by SUSE security team.
