It is an unfortunate script, but can't actually

. The MAX_SCRIPT_ELEMENT_SIZE = 520 Bytes.
​ Thus, it would seem the worst you could do with this would be to (10000-520*2)*520*2 bytes  ~=~ 10 MB.

​Much more concerning would be the op_dup/op_cat style bug, which under a similar script ​would certainly cause out of memory errors :)

Hi all,

Suppose someone were to use the following pk_script:

[op_2dup, op_2dup, op_2dup, op_2dup, op_2dup, ...(to limit)..., op_2dup, op_hash160, <addr_hash>, op_equalverify, op_checksig]

This still seems to be valid AFAICS, and may be a potential attack vector?

Thanks.
