fix crash when receiving request with invalid framing (CVE-2017-10868) #1459

@kazuho

Description

@kazuho

The worker process of H2O may crash (and automatically respawned depending on the configuration) when it receives a HTTP request with an invalid framing specifier (i.e. content-length or transfer-encoding header).

The crash disrupts other requests in-flight, and therefore is being classified as a DoS vulnerability.

Details TBD.

Affected systems: H2O up to version 2.2.2, serving HTTP/1 traffic.
Resolution: upgrade to 2.2.3.
