    Bug#19770858: MYSQLD CAN BE DRIVEN TO OOM WITH TWO SIMPLE SESSION VARS · 7a408dbd
    Jon Olav Hauglid authored
    The problem was that the maximum value of the transaction_prealloc_size
    session system variable was ULONG_MAX which meant that it was possible
    to cause the server to allocate excessive amounts of memory.
    
    This patch fixes the problem by reducing the maxmimum value of
    transaction_prealloc_size and transaction_alloc_block_size down
    to 128K.
    
    Note that transactions will still be able to allocate more than
    128K if needed, this patch just reduces the amount that can be
    preallocated - as well as the maximum size of the incremental
    allocation blocks.
