Subject: [PATCH] Fix CVE-2020-12845 (#1243)
* Implement tests for CVE-2020-12845
Can be manually reproduced by:
curl -H "Authorization: Basic " -X GET url
curl -H "Authorization: Digest " -X GET url
* Don't process empty input for cherokee_buffer_decode_base64
* Don't process empty input for cherokee_validator_parse_basic and cherokee_validator_parse_digest
* Guard empty input in get_authorization to resolve CVE-2020-12845
Thanks Patrik Lantz from F-Secure for reporting this issue!
