Lighttpd security advisory reports:

Certain Connection header values will trigger an endless loop, for example:
โ€œConnection: TE,Keep-Aliveโ€
On receiving such value, lighttpd will enter an endless loop,
detecting an empty token but not incrementing the current string
position, and keep reading the โ€˜,โ€™ again and again.
This bug was introduced in 1.4.31, when we fixed an โ€œinvalid readโ€
bug (it would try to read the byte before the string if it started
with โ€˜,โ€™, although the value wasnโ€™t actually used).
