Bug#19770858: MYSQLD CAN BE DRIVEN TO OOM WITH TWO SIMPLE SESSION VARS
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.
