#22751: LZMA coder causes crash when the sandbox is enabled
------------------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: ahf | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: High | Milestone: Tor: 0.3.1.x-final
Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Tor: 0.3.1.1-alpha
Severity: Normal | Keywords:
Actual Points: | Parent ID:

Sponsor: Sponsor4 |
------------------------------+--------------------------------
While doing the measurements for Sponsor 4 I noticed that Tor instances
running as relays or authorities would sometimes crash when the sandbox is
enabled.
This is due to the `MALLOC_MP_LIM` value in `sandbox.c`, which is
currently set to 16 MB, being too low. We limit our LZMA coder to only use
16 MB, but the coder allocates some additional data other than its
internal buffer, which leads to the crash.
