The IPV6_V6ONLY macro is now checked only while parsing appropriate flag
and when using the macro.
The ipv6only field in listen structures is always initialized to 1,
even if not supported on a given platform. This is expected to prevent
a module compiled without IPV6_V6ONLY from accidentally creating dual
sockets if loaded into main binary with proper IPV6_V6ONLY support.
It is to be used as a bitmask with various bits set/reset when appropriate.
Any bit set means that the peer should not be used, that is, exactly what
current checks do, no additional changes required.
Previously flags passed by --with-ld-opt were not used when building perl
module, which meant hardening flags provided by package build systems were not
applied.
All the errors that prevent loading configuration must be printed on the "emerg"
log level. Previously, nginx might silently fail to load configuration in some
cases as the default log level is "error".
Previously, the realip module could be left with uninitialized context after an
error in the ngx_http_realip_set_addr() function. That context could be later
accessed by $realip_remote_addr and $realip_remote_port variable handlers.
If the range includes two or more /16 networks and does
not start at the /16 boundary, the last subrange was not
removed (see 91cff7f97a50 for details).
Unlike $upstream_response_length that only counts the body size,
the new variable also counts the size of response header and data
received after switching protocols when proxying WebSockets.
If PCRE is disabled, captures were treated as normal variables in
ngx_http_script_compile(), while code calculating flushes array length in
ngx_http_compile_complex_value() did not account captures as variables.
This could lead to write outside of the array boundary when setting
last element to -1.

It fixes potential connection leak if some unsent data was left in the SSL
buffer. Particularly, that could happen when a client canceled the stream
after the HEADERS frame has already been created. In this case no other
frames might be produced and the HEADERS frame alone didn't flush the buffer.
Checking for return value of c->send_chain() isn't sufficient since there
are data can be left in the SSL buffer. Now the wew->ready flag is used
instead.
In particular, this fixed a connection leak in cases when all streams were
closed, but there's still some data to be sent in the SSL buffer and the
client forgot about the connection.
Particularly this fixes alerts on OS X and NetBSD systems when HTTP/2 is
configured over plain TCP sockets.
On these systems calling writev() with no data leads to EINVAL errors
being logged as "writev() failed (22: Invalid argument) while processing
HTTP/2 connection".
Previously, if the worker process exited, GOAWAY was sent to connections in
idle state, but connections with active streams were closed without GOAWAY.
On non-aligned platforms, properly cast argument before left-shifting it in
ngx_http_v2_parse_uint32 that is used with u_char. Otherwise it propagates
to int to hold the value and can step over the sign bit. Usually, on known
compilers, this results in negation. Furthermore, a subsequent store into a
wider type, that is ngx_uint_t on 64-bit platforms, results in sign-extension.
In practice, this can be observed in debug log as a very large exclusive bit
value, when client sent PRIORITY frame with exclusive bit set:
: *14 http2 PRIORITY frame sid:5 on 1 excl:8589934591 weight:17
Found with UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.
Previously, when a buffer was processed by the sub filter, its final bytes
could be buffered by the filter even if they don't match any pattern.
This happened because the Boyer-Moore algorithm, employed by the sub filter
since b9447fc457b4 (1.9.4), matches the last characters of patterns prior to
checking other characters. If the last character is out of scope, initial
bytes of a potential match are buffered until the last character is available.
Now, after receiving a flush or recycled buffer, the filter performs
additional checks to reduce the number of buffered bytes. The potential match
is checked against the initial parts of all patterns. Non-matching bytes are
not buffered. This improves processing of a chunked response from upstream
by sending the entire chunks without buffering unless a partial match is found
at the end of a chunk.
This patch moves various OpenSSL-specific function calls into the
OpenSSL module and introduces ngx_ssl_ciphers() to make nginx more
crypto-library-agnostic.
When the stream is terminated the HEADERS frame can still wait in the output
queue. This frame can't be removed and must be sent to the client anyway,
since HTTP/2 uses stateful compression for headers. So in order to postpone
closing and freeing memory of such stream the special close stream handler
is set to the write event. After the HEADERS frame is sent the write event
is called and the stream will be finally closed.
Some events like receiving a RST_STREAM can trigger the read handler of such
stream in closing state and cause unexpected processing that can result in
another attempt to finalize the request. To prevent it the read handler is
now set to ngx_http_empty_handler.

There is no reason to add the "Content-Length: 0" header to a proxied request
without body if the header isn't presented in the original request.
Thanks to Amazon.
According to RFC 7540, an endpoint should not send more than one RST_STREAM
frame for any stream.
Also, now all the data frames will be skipped while termination.
The ngx_http_v2_finalize_connection() closes current stream, but that is an
invalid operation while processing unbuffered upload. This results in access
to already freed memory, since the upstream module sets a cleanup handler that
also finalizes the request.
