From 9d14e689c86a395c11a530767db4ddf895446ba8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gregory Maxwell Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2013 15:41:46 -0700 Subject: [raw] reject insanely high fees by default in sendrawtransaction There have been several incidents where mainnet experimentation with raw transactions resulted in insane fees. This is hard to prevent in the raw transaction api because the inputs may not be known. Since sending doesn't work if the inputs aren't known, we can catch it there. This rejects fees > than 10000 * nMinRelayTxFee or 1 BTC with the defaults and can be overridden with a bool at the rpc. --- src/rpcrawtransaction.cpp | 10 +++++++--- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'src/rpcrawtransaction.cpp') diff --git a/src/rpcrawtransaction.cpp b/src/rpcrawtransaction.cpp index 580120f2a2..3359e94cce 100644 --- a/src/rpcrawtransaction.cpp +++ b/src/rpcrawtransaction.cpp @@ -527,9 +527,9 @@ Value signrawtransaction(const Array& params, bool fHelp) Value sendrawtransaction(const Array& params, bool fHelp) { - if (fHelp || params.size() < 1 || params.size() > 1) + if (fHelp || params.size() < 1 || params.size() > 2) throw runtime_error( - "sendrawtransaction \n" + "sendrawtransaction [allowhighfees=false]\n" "Submits raw transaction (serialized, hex-encoded) to local node and network."); // parse hex string from parameter @@ -537,6 +537,10 @@ Value sendrawtransaction(const Array& params, bool fHelp) CDataStream ssData(txData, SER_NETWORK, PROTOCOL_VERSION); CTransaction tx; + bool fOverrideFees = false; + if (params.size() > 1) + fOverrideFees = params[1].get_bool(); + // deserialize binary data stream try { ssData >> tx; @@ -554,7 +558,7 @@ Value sendrawtransaction(const Array& params, bool fHelp) if (!fHave) { // push to local node CValidationState state; - if (!mempool.accept(state, tx, false, NULL)) + if (!mempool.accept(state, tx, false, NULL, !fOverrideFees)) throw JSONRPCError(RPC_DESERIALIZATION_ERROR, "TX rejected"); // TODO: report validation state } } -- cgit v1.2.3
