Mongoose 是一个嵌入式 Web 服务器和网络库。在 7.22 版本之前，远程攻击者可以在由 中的 处理的 multipart 输入中嵌入单个回车符（carriage return）或换行符（line feed）。比较 与 以及 与 的循环使用了错误的 AND 条件，只要任一字符看起来像是 CRLF（回车换行）终止符的一部分，循环就会提前终止。这会导致 HTTP 头、文件名或边界字符串被截断，从而可能使应用程序在看到一个误导性的 Content-Type 值后接受危险内容。该问题已在 7.22 版本中得到修复

Vulnerability Title
Mongoose: Multipart boundary/header scan logic error in mg_http_next_multipart
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Mongoose is an embedded web server and network library. Prior to 7.22, a remote attacker can place a lone carriage return or line feed in multipart input processed by mg_http_next_multipart() in src/http.c. The loops comparing s[b] and s[b + 1], and s[h2] and s[h2 + 1], use an incorrect AND condition and stop when either character resembles part of a CRLF terminator. This truncates headers, filenames, or boundaries and can cause an application to accept dangerous content after seeing a misleading Content-Type value. This issue is fixed in version 7.22.
