[PATCH 5/9] parser: Handle even more exotically broken headers

Thu Feb 22 01:17:12 AEDT 2018

An archive of the Ubuntu kernel team mailing list contains a
fascinating email that causes the following parse error:

email.errors.HeaderParseError: header value appears to contain an embedded header:
  '4Mf^tnii7k\\_EnR5aobBm6Di[DZ9 at AX1wJ"okBdX-UoJ>:SRn]c6DDU"qUIwfs98vF>...

The broken bit seem related to a UTF-8 quoted-printable encoded
section and to be from an internal attempt to break it over multiple
lines: here's a snippet from the error message:
    '\n\t=?utf-8?q?Tnf?=\n'
but interesting the header itself does not contain the new lines, so
clearly something quite weird is happening behind the scenes!

This only throws on header.encode(): it actually makes it through
sanitise_header and into find_headers before throwing the assertion.

So, try to encode in sanitize_header as a final step.

Also, fix a hilarious* python bug that this exposes: whitespace-only
headers cause an index error!

+Hi Amit,
+
+I've noticed by sheer luck that the Ubuntu 8.10 linux-image-2.6.27-7 packages 
+include a patch to the uvcvideo driver to support webcam modules integrated 
+into Compal JHL90 laptops.
+
+Is there a reason why the patch hasn't been pushed upstream ? Being the 
+uvcvideo author and maintainer, I'd appreciate if you could forward patches 
+related to the driver in the future.
+
+On a pure technical note, the patch might not be required with the current 
+uvcvideo driver version. There is no way to confirm this without testing the 
+driver with that particular webcam model, so I'd appreciate if you could 
+contact the patch author and check with him if his camera works with the 
+latest uvcvideo driver (available from http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/).
+
+Best regards,
+
+Laurent Pinchart
