> In FileUploadBase there is an issue when checking for upload request size,
> the check is based on presence of Content-Length header in request and FALSE
> assumption that when present it will represent the actual request size. Using
> this fact, attacker can supply request with defined Content-Length of 60 and
> bypass file upload restrictions, which can lead to successful Resource
> Depletion type attack.
> IMHO by default file upload should return the LimitedInputStream
> implementation for file upload.
