If during configuration parsing of the geo directive the memory
allocation has failed, pool used to parse configuration inside
the block, and sometimes the temporary pool were not destroyed.
There is no need to calculate hashes of static strings at runtime. The
ngx_hash() macro can be used to do it during compilation instead, similarly
to how it is done in ngx_http_proxy_module.c for "Server" and "Date" headers.
In particular, if a stream object allocation failed, and a client sent
the PRIORITY frame for this stream, ngx_http_v2_set_dependency() could
dereference a null pointer while trying to re-parent a dependency node.
r->headers_in.host can be NULL in ngx_http_v2_push_resource().
This happens when a request is terminated with 400 before the :authority
or Host header is parsed, and either pushing is enabled on the server{}
level or error_page 400 redirects to a location with pushes configured.

Resources to be pushed are configured with the "http2_push" directive.
Also, preload links from the Link response headers, as described in
https://www.w3.org/TR/preload/#server-push-http-2, can be pushed, if
enabled with the "http2_push_preload" directive.
Only relative URIs with absolute paths can be pushed.
The number of concurrent pushes is normally limited by a client, but
cannot exceed a hard limit set by the "http2_max_concurrent_pushes"
directive.
Previously, when request body was not available or was previously read in
memory rather than a file, client received HTTP 500 error, but no explanation
was logged in error log. This could happen, for example, if request body was
read or discarded prior to error_page redirect, or if mirroring was enabled
along with dav.
This fixes segfault in configurations with multiple virtual servers sharing
the same port, where a non-default virtual server block misses certificate.
Following ad3f342f14ba046c (1.9.13), it is possible that a request where
header was already sent will be finalized with NGX_HTTP_BAD_GATEWAY,
triggering an attempt to return additional error response and the
"header already sent" alert as a result.
In particular, it is trivial to reproduce the problem with a HEAD request
and caching enabled. With caching enabled nginx will change HEAD to GET
and will set u->pipe->downstream_error to suppress sending the response
body to the client. When a backend-related error occurs (for example,
proxy_read_timeout expires), ngx_http_finalize_upstream_request() will
be called with NGX_HTTP_BAD_GATEWAY. After ad3f342f14ba046c this will
result in ngx_http_finalize_request(NGX_HTTP_BAD_GATEWAY).
Fix is to move u->pipe->downstream_error handling to a later point,
where all special response codes are changed to NGX_ERROR.

Specifically, it is now allowed to start with a variable expression with braces:
${name}. The opening curly bracket in such a token was previously considered
the start of a new block. Variables located anywhere else in a token worked
fine: foo${name}.
Previously, capset(2) was called with the 64-bit capabilities version
_LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION_3. With this version Linux kernel expected two
copies of struct __user_cap_data_struct, while only one was submitted. As a
result, random stack memory was accessed and random capabilities were requested
by the worker. This sometimes caused capset() errors. Now the 32-bit version
_LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION_1 is used instead. This is OK since CAP_NET_RAW is
a 32-bit capability (CAP_NET_RAW = 13).
Previously included file sys/capability.h mentioned in capset(2) man page,
belongs to the libcap-dev package, which may not be installed on some Linux
systems when compiling nginx. This prevented the capabilities feature from
being detected and compiled on that systems.
Now linux/capability.h system header is included instead. Since capset()
declaration is located in sys/capability.h, now capset() syscall is defined
explicitly in code using the SYS_capset constant, similarly to other
Linux-specific features in nginx.
The capability is retained automatically in unprivileged worker processes after
changing UID if transparent proxying is enabled at least once in nginx
configuration.
The feature is only available in Linux.
In 2c7b488a61fb, IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT test was accidentally placed
between SO_BINDANY, IP_TRANSPARENT, and IP_BINDANY tests. Moved it after
these tests.
If the flag space_in_uri is set, the URI in HTTP upstream request is escaped to
convert space to %20. However this flag is not checked while creating the
default cache key. This leads to different cache keys for requests
'/foo bar' and '/foo%20bar', while the upstream requests are identical.
Additionally, the change fixes background cache updates when the client URI
contains unescaped space. Default cache key in a subrequest is always based on
escaped URI, while the main request may not escape it. As a result, background
cache update subrequest may update a different cache entry.
Inheriting this flag will make the cloned subrequest behave consistently with
the parent. Specifically, the upstream HTTP request and cache key created by
the proxy module may depend directly on unparsed_uri if valid_unparsed_uri flag
is set. Previously, the flag was zero for cloned requests, which could make
background update proxy a request different than its parent and cache the result
with a different key. For example, if client URI contained the escaped slash
character %2F, it was used as is by the proxy module in the main request, but
was unescaped in the subrequests.
Similar problems exist in the slice module.
Previously, the unparsed uri was explicitly allowed to be used only by the main
request. However the valid_unparsed_uri flag is nonzero only in the main
request, which makes the main request check pointless.
