+Subject: [PATCH] Rewrite: fixed escaping and possible buffer overrun
+
+The following code resulted in incorrect escaping of $1 and possible
+segfault:
+
+    location / {
+        rewrite ^(.*) /new?c=1;
+        set $myvar $1;
+        return 200 $myvar;
+    }
+
+If there were arguments in a rewrite's replacement string, the is_args flag
+was set and incorrectly never cleared.  This resulted in escaping applied
+to any captures evaluated afterwards in set or if.  Additionally buffer was
+allocated by ngx_http_script_complex_value_code() without escaping expected,
+thus this also resulted in buffer overrun and possible segfault.
+
+A similar issue was fixed in 74d939974d43.
+
+Reported by Leo Lin.
