With this change, it is now possible to use ngx_conf_merge_ptr_value()
to merge complex values. This change follows much earlier changes in
ngx_conf_merge_ptr_value() and ngx_conf_set_str_array_slot()
in 1452:cd586e963db0 (0.6.10) and 1701:40d004d95d88 (0.6.22), and the
change in ngx_conf_set_keyval_slot() (7728:485dba3e2a01, 1.19.4).
To preserve compatibility with existing 3rd party modules, both NULL
and NGX_CONF_UNSET_PTR are accepted for now.
When secure link checksum has length of 23 or 24 bytes, decoded base64 value
could occupy 17 or 18 bytes which is more than 16 bytes previously allocated
for it on stack. The buffer overflow does not have any security implications
since only one local variable was corrupted and this variable was not used in
this case.
The fix is to increase buffer size up to 18 bytes. Useless buffer size
initialization is removed as well.
The "secure_link_secret" directive was always inherited from the outer
configuration level even when "secure_link" and "secure_link_md5" were
specified on the inner level.
