Antes de 2.1.13 y 2.2.2-alpha, el analizador evhttp de libevent en http.c maneja de forma inconsistente los encabezados Transfer-Encoding duplicados, los valores Transfer-Encoding separados por comas y los saltos de l\u00ednea simples en el encuadre fragmentado. evhttp_find_header solo puede seleccionar el primer encabezado, evhttp_check_transfer_encoding_ estaba ausente, por lo que la comparaci\u00f3n de cadena completa anterior no reconoce listas v\u00e1lidas que terminan en chunked, y evhttp_handle_chunked_read usa EVBUFFER_EOL_CRLF en lugar de EVBUFFER_EOL_CRLF_STRICT, aceptando terminadores de fragmento LF simples. Cuando libevent se implementa detr\u00e1s de un proxy que enmarca la misma solicitud de manera diferente, un atacante remoto no autenticado puede desincronizar los l\u00edmites de la solicitud y contrabandear una segunda solicitud, lo que podr\u00eda eludir los controles de acceso o envenenar las cach\u00e9s. Este problema se soluciona en las versiones 2.1.13 y 2.2.2-alpha."

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
