facil.io v0.7.5 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-05-18 // over 4 years ago
  • v. 0.7.5 (2020-05-18)

    ๐Ÿ”’ Security : backport the 0.8.x HTTP/1.1 parser and it's security updates to the 0.7.x version branch. This fixes a request smuggling attack vector and Transfer Encoding attack vector that were exposed by Sam Sanoop from the Snyk Security team (snyk.io). The parser was updated to deal with these potential issues.

    ๐Ÿ›  Fix : (http) fixes an issue with date calculation by backporting code from the 0.8.x branch.

    ๐Ÿ›  Fix : (fio) call less signal handlers during shutdown.

    from v. 0.7.4

    ๐Ÿ›  Fix : (http) fixes an issue and improves support for chunked encoded payloads. Credit to Ian Ker-Seymer ( @ianks ) for exposing this, writing tests (for the Ruby wrapper) and opening both the issue boazsegev/iodine#87 and the PR boazsegev/iodine#88.

    ๐Ÿ›  Fix : (http) requests will fail when the path contains a dangling ? (empty query). Credit to @adam12 for exposing this and opening issue boazsegev/iodine#86.


Previous changes from v0.7.3

  • Fix : (http) fixes a security issue in the static file name resolution logic, where a maliciously encoded request could invoke an arbitrary response.

    ๐Ÿ›  Fix : (fio, fiobj) improved C++ compatibility. Credit to Joey (@joeyhoek) for PR #76.

    ๐Ÿ›  Fix : (fio) fixes an issue where timer cleanup wasn't performed after fio_stop (or SIGINT/SIGTERM). No a "clean slate" will be provided if fio_start is called more then once. Note: this may break previous behavior , which should be considered undocumented and unexpected behavior. (this fax may be deferred to version 0.8.x, still undecided). Credit to @fbrausse for opening issue #72.

    ๐Ÿ›  Fix : (fio) fixes an issue where timer cleanup would be performed after the AT_EXIT state callbacks. Now the timer cleanup callbacks will be performed before the AT_EXIT callback (as they should). (See issue #72).

    ๐Ÿ›  Fix : (fio) fixes signal handler (re)establishment test to prevent recursive signal calling.
