Subject: Backport fix for memory consumption DoS, CVE CAN-2004-0942:
X-Git-Tag: 2.0.53~183
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5f31fca13de897bff8f2711fff9d02ef0f02ea49;p=thirdparty%2Fapache%2Fhttpd.git

Backport fix for memory consumption DoS, CVE CAN-2004-0942:

* server/protocol.c (ap_rgetline_core): Don't trim trailing whitespace
from the buffer here.
(ap_get_mime_headers_core): Trim trailing whitespace here, after
reading a complete field including continuation lines.  Also simplify
code to remove whitespace between field-name and colon.
