From ca5f8f80e31784fc2883b352d0c22d4b74200e7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Evan Lucas Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2016 10:42:32 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] http: check reason chars in writeHead Previously, the reason argument passed to ServerResponse#writeHead was not being properly validated. One could pass CRLFs which could lead to http response splitting. This commit changes the behavior to throw an error in the event any invalid characters are included in the reason.
