BUG/MINOR: hlua: fix stack overflow in httpclient headers conversion
hlua_httpclient_table_to_hdrs() declares a VLA of size
global.tune.max_http_hdr (default 101) on the stack but never checks
hdr_num against that bound. A Lua script that supplies a header table
with more than 101 values writes struct http_hdr entries (two ist =
two heap pointers + two lengths) past the end of the VLA, smashing
the stack frame.
Trigger from any Lua action/task/service:
local hc = core.httpclient()
local v = {}
for i = 1, 300 do v[i] = "x" end
hc:get{ url = "http://127.0.0.1/", headers = { ["X"] = v } }
Each out-of-bounds entry writes a heap pointer (controllable
allocation contents via istdup) plus an attacker-chosen length onto
the stack, overwriting the saved return address.
[wla: this is only reachable if the Lua script passes more than
max_http_hdr header values, which requires access to the script itself]
This must be backported as far as the httpclient Lua API exists.
