CVE-2020-1935: Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests (HTTP Request Smuggling)

In Apache Tomcat M1 to to to the HTTP header parsing code used an approach to end-of-line parsing that allowed some invalid HTTP headers to be parsed as valid. This led to a possibility of HTTP Request Smuggling if Tomcat was located behind a reverse proxy that incorrectly handled the invalid Transfer-Encoding header in a particular manner. Such a reverse proxy is considered unlikely.
