From ff89c78e6627a701ab290b4da816f0894ad86fc8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: shadye-6 Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2026 21:36:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] Fix out-of-bounds iterator dereference in HttpFileImpl::save() (#2655) Use 4-iterator std::mismatch instead of 3-iterator std::equal when validating destination upload paths. Under ISO C++17 [alg.equal], 3-iterator std::equal assumes the second range has at least as many elements as the first. When an untrusted multipart filename resolves to an ancestor path with fewer components than the upload directory (e.g. .. or ../../c), std::equal dereferenced past-the-end iterators, causing SIGABRT under _GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS. Also add unit test cases to HttpFileTest covering strict prefix traversal, dot-dot traversal, and legitimate nested subdirectory uploads.
