From 610f0e09929a5f351f7c1c3850ac7e0d83ffe388 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Austin Clements Date: Sun, 25 Nov 2012 01:16:01 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] lib: Reject multi-message mboxes and deprecate single-message mbox Previously, we would treat multi-message mboxes as one giant email, which, besides the obvious incorrect indexing, often led to out-of-memory errors for archival mboxes. Now we explicitly reject multi-message mboxes. For historical reasons, we retain support for single-message mboxes, but official deprecate this behavior. --- lib/database.cc | 4 +++- lib/index.cc | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ test/new | 8 +++++--- 3 files changed, 36 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/database.cc b/lib/database.cc index 4df32173..91d43298 100644 --- a/lib/database.cc +++ b/lib/database.cc @@ -1821,7 +1821,9 @@ notmuch_database_add_message (notmuch_database_t *notmuch, date = notmuch_message_file_get_header (message_file, "date"); _notmuch_message_set_header_values (message, date, from, subject); - _notmuch_message_index_file (message, filename); + ret = _notmuch_message_index_file (message, filename); + if (ret) + goto DONE; } else { ret = NOTMUCH_STATUS_DUPLICATE_MESSAGE_ID; } diff --git a/lib/index.cc b/lib/index.cc index e3777322..da0e6ceb 100644 --- a/lib/index.cc +++ b/lib/index.cc @@ -435,6 +435,9 @@ _notmuch_message_index_file (notmuch_message_t *message, const char *from, *subject; notmuch_status_t ret = NOTMUCH_STATUS_SUCCESS; static int initialized = 0; + char from_buf[5]; + bool is_mbox = false; + static bool mbox_warning = false; if (! initialized) { g_mime_init (0); @@ -448,13 +451,38 @@ _notmuch_message_index_file (notmuch_message_t *message, goto DONE; } + /* Is this mbox? */ + if (fread (from_buf, sizeof (from_buf), 1, file) == 1 && + strncmp (from_buf, "From ", 5) == 0) + is_mbox = true; + rewind (file); + /* Evil GMime steals my FILE* here so I won't fclose it. */ stream = g_mime_stream_file_new (file); parser = g_mime_parser_new_with_stream (stream); + g_mime_parser_set_scan_from (parser, is_mbox); mime_message = g_mime_parser_construct_message (parser); + if (is_mbox) { + if (!g_mime_parser_eos (parser)) { + /* This is a multi-message mbox. */ + ret = NOTMUCH_STATUS_FILE_NOT_EMAIL; + goto DONE; + } + /* For historical reasons, we support single-message mboxes, + * but this behavior is likely to change in the future, so + * warn. */ + if (!mbox_warning) { + mbox_warning = true; + fprintf (stderr, "\ +Warning: %s is an mbox containing a single message,\n\ +likely caused by misconfigured mail delivery.
