Libevent 是一个事件通知库。在 2.1.13 之前以及 2.2.2-alpha 版本中，libevent 在 中存在两个 HTTP 解析方面的安全弱点。 第一个弱点涉及函数 ，它会将经过百分号编码的 字节解码为字面意义上的 NUL（零）字符。这可能导致下游的 C 字符串操作提前截断路径，从而绕过在其他表示形式上执行的安全验证。 第二个弱点涉及函数 ，该函数接受过时的标头值折行（line folding）行为，即允许标头值中包含回车符（CR）或换行符（LF）。这使得代理服务器和 libevent 可能对同一标

Vulnerability Title
Libevent: HTTP header handling bugs create risk of access control bypass.
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Libevent is an event notification library. Prior to 2.1.13 and 2.2.2-alpha, libevent has two HTTP parsing weaknesses in http.c. evhttp_decode_uri_internal decodes percent-encoded %00 bytes into literal NUL characters, which can cause downstream C string operations to truncate a path and bypass validation performed on a different representation. evhttp_header_is_valid_value also accepts obsolete line folding in header values containing carriage return or line feed characters, allowing a proxy and libevent to interpret headers differently and enabling header injection or access control bypass. The CRLF header acceptance is fixed in versions 2.1.13 and 2.2.2-alpha, but the reviewed patches do not clearly remediate the URI NUL-truncation condition.
