From de58973a6025f799ee7897a2cf58bb01eca87631 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Wong Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2010 13:40:37 -0700 Subject: http: negative/invalid Content-Length raises exception ...instead of tripping an assertion. This fixes a potential denial-of-service for servers exposed directly to untrusted clients. This bug does not affect supported Unicorn deployments as Unicorn is only supported with trusted clients (such as nginx) on a LAN. nginx is known to reject clients that send invalid Content-Length headers, so any deployments on a trusted LAN and/or behind nginx are safe. Servers affected by this bug include (but are not limited to) Rainbows! and Zbatery. This does not affect Thin nor Mongrel which never got request body filtering treatment that the Unicorn HTTP parser got in August 2009. --- ext/unicorn_http/c_util.h | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'ext') diff --git a/ext/unicorn_http/c_util.h b/ext/unicorn_http/c_util.h index 8542b3d..ab1fc0e 100644 --- a/ext/unicorn_http/c_util.h +++ b/ext/unicorn_http/c_util.h @@ -108,8 +108,12 @@ static off_t parse_length(const char *value, size_t length) { off_t rv; - for (rv = 0; length-- && rv >= 0; ++value) - rv = step_incr(rv, *value, 10); + for (rv = 0; length-- && rv >= 0; ++value) { + if (*value >= '0' && *value <= '9') + rv = step_incr(rv, *value, 10); + else + return -1; + } return rv; } -- cgit v1.2.3-24-ge0c7
