    • zookeeper server cpu ZOOKEEPER-427

    Description

      When ZooKeeper receives certain illegally formed messages on the internal communication port (:4181 by default), it's possible for ZooKeeper to enter an infinite loop which causes 100% cpu usage. It's related to ZOOKEEPER-427, but that patch does not resolve all issues.

      from: src/java/main/org/apache/zookeeper/server/quorum/QuorumCnxManager.java

      the two affected parts:
      ===========
      int length = msgLength.getInt();
      if(length <= 0) {
      throw new IOException("Invalid packet length:" + length);
      }
      ===========

      ===========
      while (message.hasRemaining()) {
      temp_numbytes = channel.read(message);
      if(temp_numbytes < 0)

      { throw new IOException("Channel eof before end"); }


      numbytes += temp_numbytes;
      }
      ===========

      how to replicate this bug:

      perform an nmap portscan against your zookeeper server: "nmap -sV -n your.ip.here -p4181"
      wait for a while untill you see some messages in the logfile and then you will see 100% cpu usage. It does not recover from this situation. With my patch, it does not occur anymore
