uhttpd: HTTP request smuggling via ubus POST body parse-error desync

Impact

uhttpd, a small HTTP server, has a vulnerability in versions before 7b1bec45826bd78c8afc993435bdc0f1df2fe399, where an attacker with network access can smuggle HTTP requests via ubus POST body parse errors, potentially processing embedded requests on the same connection. The issue affects deployments with ubus enabled, including default OpenWrt configurations.

Original source description

uhttpd is a small HTTP server. In unpatched repository snapshots, uh_ubus_data_send() in ubus.c can desynchronize HTTP request boundaries when a POST /ubus JSON body arrives in multiple TCP segments. An initial segment completing a JSON object sets du->jsobj; a later segment takes the existing-object parse-error path and returns zero bytes consumed. The caller neither drains the remaining declared Content-Length nor sets connection_close. An HTTP request embedded in the unread body suffix is consequently processed as a new request on the same keep-alive connection. The reported reproducer returned a JSON-RPC parse error followed by a second HTTP response. This application-layer body-handler flaw is distinct from Transfer-Encoding header case handling and chunk-length state reset, and affects deployments enabling ubus, including the default OpenWrt configuration and potential proxy/CDN deployments. Repository patches 7b1bec45826bd78c8afc993435bdc0f1df2fe399 and b2285de129b9adc8b12f84f9a27c16c21f2b57a5 address this issue.
