Description fbh 2020-05-05 13:40:08 UTC
Description of problem:
When using a large dataset for rbldnsd-0.998-1.el7.x86_64, it consumes all available memory on start-up and crashes with the message:

rbldnsd: out of memory

This turns out to be due to a known bug - https://github.com/spamhaus/rbldnsd/commit/a1295eefc78b6e8a3c220e164dbfad6dbecc6f6e

The above patch solves the issue.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rbldnsd-0.998-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time with specific large dataset. Unfortunately this specific dataset cannot be shared, as it has been purchased from a third party.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a large dataset (zone)
2. Start rbldnsd

Actual results:
rbldnsd crashes with "out of memory" message

Expected results:
rbldnsd should not run out of memory (the server has plenty of memory for the dataset)

Hmm, hadn't noticed that there was a new upstream for this. I'll push an update shortly, and do an EPEL-8 version too.
