Bug ID: 483481
Summary: Plasma can be DDOSed by applications sending too many
notifications in short intervals
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Notifications
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: uhh...@gmail.com
CC: k...@privat.broulik.de
Target Milestone: 1.0
Title is somewhat self-explanatory. If an application sends too many
notifications in a short interval, Plasma becomes unresponsive as it processes
the notification deluge. While undoubtetly an application programming error,
Plasma should be robust against this.
A simple while loop in bash can replicate this:
```
while true; do
echo "^G" # this is BEL and it needs to be inputted as ctrl+v ctrl+g
done
```
and switch to another tab in Konsole. (notify-send will trigger the "too many
same notifications" error.)
If you're curious, the application on my system that results in this is sbt.
