"Overflow in packet detected" - Max 16 chars string limit not wholly fixed?

[freak-dk]

Hi

I saw this issue on a new exploit and updated my Waterfall Proxy so we're running the newest build; Waterfall-Bootstrap:1.16-R0.4-SNAPSHOT:2eae08f:393

Today we were hit by (I believe?) the same attack, causing some interruption.
At first this is spammed in the console; https://pastebin.com/c28c1kna
Then this: https://pastebin.com/jwMsncRt
And finally Session server times out, because of too many requests I guess; https://pastebin.com/tmkTuQEX

Obviously fake usernames and IPs.

So basically almost nothing came of this but when connection to the session server timed out a number of legitimate users were not able to be authenticated for a few minutes.
Seems like the fix is 'working' but still trying to authenticate the fake users?

Anything I can do about this / is this something you need to work out?

Thank your for your efforts!

obviously not fake ips, as it is tcp connection.

"Obviously" the usernames are fake...
The IPs are proxys/vpn, not someones home connection is what I meant :)

Some more mitigations regarding this are being worked on. For now have some patience please.

Yes of course.
I wasn't sure if this was 'my' problem or something you needed to work on 👍

Is there anything I can do about this here and now though?
It's quite the issue for me atm. with someone actively exploiting this on my proxy.
