Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

HTTP Request Smuggling: Lax validation of header structures, particularly obsolete multiline definitions, allowed boundary desynchronization on downstream proxies. Future modifications to the parser must strictly adhere to RFC 9110.

HTTP Response Splitting: Failure to validate characters inside header fields allowed attackers to inject control sequences. Strictly enforcing character boundaries during header serialization is essential to prevent injection vectors.

Denial of Service: The use of assertions to check network-provided buffer lengths allowed malformed external HTTP/2 frames to trigger server-side crashes via assertion failures. Malformed input must be handled gracefully through runtime exceptions without halting the server process.
