BUG/MEDIUM: h3: fix cookie header parsing
Cookie header are treated specifically to merge multiple occurences in a
single HTX header. This is treated in a if-block condition inside the
'while (1)' loop for headers parsing. The length value of ist
representing cookie header is set to -1 by http_cookie_register(). The
problem is that then a continue statement is used but without
incrementing 'hdr_idx' to pass on the next header.
This issue was revealed by the introduction of commit :
commit d6fb7a0e0f3a79afa1f4b6fc7b62053c3955dc4a
BUG/MEDIUM: h3: reject request with invalid header name
Before the aformentionned patch, the bug was hidden : on the next while
iteration, all isteq() invocations won't match with cookie header length
now set to -1. htx_add_header() fails silently because length is
invalid. hdr_idx is finally incremented which allows parsing to proceed
normally with the next header.
Now, a cookie header with length -1 do not pass the test on header name
conformance introduced by the above patch. Thus, a spurrious
RESET_STREAM is emitted. This behavior has been reported on the mailing
list by Shawn Heisey who found out that browsers disabled H3 usage due
to the RESET_STREAM received. Big thanks to him for his testing on the
master branch.
This issue is simply resolved by incrementing hdr_idx before continue
statement. It could have been detected earlier if htx_add_header()
return value was checked. This will be the subject of a dedicated commit
outside of the backport scope.
This must be backported up to 2.6.
