BUG/MAJOR: http: fix breakage of "reqdeny" causing random crashes
Commit 108b1dd ("MEDIUM: http: configurable http result codes for
http-request deny") introduced in 1.6-dev2 was incomplete. It introduced
a new field "rule_deny_status" into struct http_txn, which is filled only
by actions "http-request deny" and "http-request tarpit". It's then used
in the deny code path to emit the proper error message, but is used
uninitialized when the deny comes from a "reqdeny" rule, causing random
behaviours ranging from returning a 200, an empty response, or crashing
the process. Often upon startup only 200 was returned but after the fields
are used the crash happens. This can be sped up using -dM.
There's no need at all for storing this status in the http_txn struct
anyway since it's used immediately after being set. Let's store it in
a temporary variable instead which is passed as an argument to function
http_req_get_intercept_rule().
As an extra benefit, removing it from struct http_txn reduced the size
of this struct by 8 bytes.
This fix must be backported to 1.6 where the bug was detected. Special
thanks to Falco Schmutz for his detailed report including an exploitable
core and a reproducer.
