[#22854] - Infinite loop with RSS feed

Hi,
This is a small bug that deserves protection against awkwardness.
In the module "Feed Display", if in the field "Feed URL" you put the address of the site, you generate a loop that consumes all possible access to the web server. On a web server you use all processes up to the maximum limit, a small DOS.
Tested with Joomla 3.8.1.
Regards.

Hi,
Yes, we have a client on a shared server that wanted to test the module. Not knowing what to put as URL, she put that of her website. She made inaccessible all the websites of this shared server .
Regards.
So this shared server doesn't run each site in isolation?
With the Apache prefork MPM module, the "MaxRequestWorkers" directive is global, it can not be configured vhost by vhost.
Regards.

Isn't this a hosting/user issue than a core issue?
hosting issue for me
The only thing we could do is to prevent someone putting in a link to their own site.
You should be able to post your own site. I tested locally without issues.

Do you mean you put your own url in the module?
If so its hardly a DOS as you did it yourself
