Previous code has been based on assumption that the header block can only be
splitted at the borders of individual headers. That wasn't the case and might
result in emitting frames bigger than the frame size limit.
The current approach is to split header blocks by the frame size limit.
Previously, nginx worker would crash because of a double free
if client disconnected or timed out before sending all headers.

Previously, streams that were indirectly reprioritized (either because of
a new exclusive dependency on their parent or because of removal of their
parent from the dependency tree), didn't have their pointer to the parent
node updated.
This broke detection of circular dependencies and, as a result, nginx
worker would crash due to stack overflow whenever such dependency was
introduced.

Per RFC7540, a stream cannot depend on itself.
Previously, this requirement was enforced on PRIORITY frames, but not on
HEADERS frames and due to the implementation details nginx worker would
crash (stack overflow) while opening self-dependent stream.

As setitimer() isn't available on Windows, time wasn't updated at all
if timer_resolution was used with the select event method. Fix is
to ignore timer_resolution in such cases.
This context is needed for shared sessions cache to work in configurations
with multiple virtual servers sharing the same port. Unfortunately, OpenSSL
does not provide an API to access the session context, thus storing it
separately.
In collaboration with Vladimir Homutov.
If no space left in buffer after adding formatting symbols, error message
could be left without terminating null. The fix is to output message using
actual length.
The code for displaying version info and configuration info seemed to be
cluttering up the main function. I was finding it hard to read main. This
extracts out all of the logic for displaying version and configuration info
into its own function, thus making main easier to read.
RAND_pseudo_bytes() is deprecated in the OpenSSL master branch, so the only
use was changed to RAND_bytes(). Access to internal structures is no longer
possible, so now we don't try to set SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS even
if it's defined.
Since an output buffer can only be used for either reading or sending, small
amounts of data left from the previous operation (due to some limits) must be
sent before nginx will be able to read further into the buffer. Using only
one output buffer can result in suboptimal behavior that manifests itself in
forming and sending too small chunks of data. This is particularly painful
with SPDY (or HTTP/2) where each such chunk needs to be prefixed with some
header.
The default flow-control window in HTTP/2 is 64k minus one bytes. With one
32k output buffer this results is one byte left after exhausting the window.
With two 32k buffers the data will be read into the second free buffer before
sending, thus the minimum output is increased to 32k + 1 bytes which is much
better.
A configuration like
server { server_name .foo^@; }
server { server_name .foo; }
resulted in a segmentation fault during construction of server names hash.
Reported by Markus Linnala.
Found with afl-fuzz.
A configuration with a named location inside a zero-length prefix
or regex location used to trigger a segmentation fault, as
ngx_http_core_location() failed to properly detect if a nested location
was created. Example configuration to reproduce the problem:
location "" {
location @foo {}
}
Fix is to not rely on a parent location name length, but rather check
command type we are currently parsing.
Identical fix is also applied to ngx_http_rewrite_if(), which used to
incorrectly assume the "if" directive is on server{} level in such
locations.

This prevents a potential attack that discloses cached data if an attacker
will be able to craft a hash collision between some cache key the attacker
is allowed to access and another cache key with protected data.

The value of NGX_ERROR, returned from filter handlers, was treated as a generic
upstream error and changed to NGX_HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR before calling
ngx_http_finalize_request(). This resulted in "header already sent" alert
if header was already sent in filter handlers.
The problem appeared in 54e9b83d00f0 (1.7.5).
This overflow has become possible after the change in 06e850859a26,
since concurrent subrequests are not limited now and each of them is
counted in r->main->count.
