cvs commit: httpd-2.0/server protocol.c

jorton      2004/11/04 06:50:31

  Modified:    server   protocol.c
  Log:
  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.
