Thank you for the report. If your tests were from a non-tagged point on the master branch, please provide the commit SHA1 of the point in time you built lighttpd. There is no such tag as lighttpd 1.4.56-devel.

[Edit: bug.zip README.md contains reference to 3e046ccabfe7dff97d3f8e64716852efed311390. Thank you.]

I believe that the bug you are reporting here was fixed on my development branch on 4 Sep 2020

commit a3af9833c6bc341b61b7c5b1e1db81e432250ec2

    [core] fix crash on master if blank line request

    (bug on master branch; never released)

    (thx avij)

    fix crash on master if blank line precedes HTTP/1.1 keep-alive request

    header parsing code previously made assumptions that request was
    HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1, where a request-line was required, and which
    would error out elsewhere if request-line was missing.  The parsing
    code also previously looked for "\r\n\r\n" to end headers.

    The header offset parsing code was modified and invalidated the above
    assumptions, now looking only for blank line "\r\n", but the calling
    code had not properly been updated.  (until this patch)

  • Status changed from New to Fixed

Confirmed fixed by testing with patch backported from a3af9833 (with slight modification for compatibility with tip of master at 3e046cca)

My development branch containing the 4 Sep fix is scheduled to merge into the master branch in the next couple weeks.

Thank you for your report.
