Package geom
implements efficient geometry types for geospatial applications.
- OpenGeo Consortium-style geometries.
- Support for 2D and 3D geometries, measures (time and/or distance), and unlimited extra dimensions.
- Encoding and decoding of common geometry formats (GeoJSON, KML, WKB, and
others) including
sql.Scanner
anddriver.Value
interface implementations for easy database integration. - 2D and 3D topology functions.
- Efficient, cache-friendly internal representation.
- Optional protection against malicious or malformed inputs.
The WKB and EWKB formats encode geometry sizes, and memory is allocated for
those geometries. If the input is malicious or malformed, the memory allocation
can be very large, leading to a memory starvation denial-of-service attack
against the server. For example, a client might send a MultiPoint
with header
indicating that it contains 2^32-1 points. This will result in the server
reading that geometry to allocate 2 Γ sizeof(float64)
Γ (2^32-1) = 64GB of
memory to store those points. By default, malicious or malformed input
protection is disabled, but can be enabled by setting positive values for
wkbcommon.MaxGeometryElements
.
