Description

lighttpd crashes when using mod_extforward from an invalid IP.

These two cases have shown in my error.log:
2016-11-01 08:13:01: (mod_extforward.c.330) could not parse ip address 78.253.43.53:50883 because hostname nor servname provided, or not known (Bad file descriptor)
2016-01-14 11:58:53: (mod_extforward.c.331) could not parse ip address 147.13.742.564 because hostname nor servname provided, or not known (Bad file descriptor)

And this shows in my /var/log/messages:
Nov 1 08:13:01 x kernel: pid 31758 (lighttpd), uid 80: exited on signal 11
