[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/3] http: avoid out of bound accesses on broken St-Cookie headers

[wm4]

It's trivial to craft a HTTP response that will make the code for
skipping trailing whitespace access and possibly overwrite bytes outside
of the memory allocation. Why this can happen is blindingly obvious: it
accesses cstr[strlen(cstr)-1] without checking whether the string is
empty.
