Fix the following vulnerability:
- CVE-2025-46728
cpp-httplib is a C++ header-only HTTP/HTTPS server and client library.
Prior to version 0.20.1, the library fails to enforce configured size
limits on incoming request bodies when `Transfer-Encoding: chunked` is
used or when no `Content-Length` header is provided. A remote attacker
can send a chunked request without the terminating zero-length chunk,
causing uncontrolled memory allocation on the server. This leads to
potential exhaustion of system memory and results in a server crash or
unresponsiveness. Version 0.20.1 fixes the issue by enforcing limits
during parsing. If the limit is exceeded at any point during reading,
the connection is terminated immediately. A short-term workaround
through a Reverse Proxy is available. If updating the library
immediately is not feasible, deploy a reverse proxy (e.g., Nginx,
HAProxy) in front of the `cpp-httplib` application. Configure the
proxy to enforce maximum request body size limits, thereby stopping
excessively large requests before they reach the vulnerable library
code.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
