2026-07-31net: bound what a peer can make the node allocate (#73)mtg0001
Three independent bounds on what an untrusted peer can make this node allocate: - serialize.h: reject a compact size above MAX_SIZE before reading a string or a vector, instead of discovering it read by read. MAX_SIZE moves from main.h to serialize.h, where the checks live; headers_core.h includes serialize.h first, so every existing user still sees it. - main.cpp: cap an orphan transaction at 10,000 inputs. Orphans are stored and never validated, so mapOrphanTransactionsByPrev grew with one entry per input of every orphan a peer cared to send. - rpc.cpp: drop a Stratum line nested deeper than 20 before json::parse recurses into it. The scan tracks string state, so a worker name containing { or [ is no longer mistaken for nesting. Verified: builds clean on UCRT64; the depth scanner passes a table of legitimate Stratum lines and nesting attacks; a node built from this branch synced the chain from genesis to 4462 with no deserialization failure and no rejected block.
2026-07-28serialize: grow strings as data arrives, not to the declared length (#18)Bitflash
The vector unserializer grows in 5 MB steps so a bogus length cannot make it allocate more than has actually been received. The string one resized straight to whatever ReadCompactSize returned, and ReadCompactSize has no ceiling -- nine bytes on the wire can name four gigabytes. Not reachable from the network today: the only string on a serialized type is CWalletTx::mapValue, and RelayMessage casts to CTransaction before sending, so it never leaves disk. This is a guard against the next network message that carries a string -- Bitcoin's own version message carries strSubVer -- rather than a fix for a live hole.
