Hallo Carsten

Many thanks for the heads-up, but I am not entirely sure what to do
about it. As far as I know all issues were fixed latest by 2.8. I find
it questionable when people open CVEs for (sometimes much) earlier
versions, and without informing us about it.

To make it clear: there was one issue with unconstrained log messages,
which was fixed in the 1.x series. The issue mentioned in the CVEs you
listed is not really a problem, but rather a question of RFC
interpretation: when Pound received both a Content-Length and a
Transfer-Encoding header it honoured only the first of them and removed
the second, rather than rejecting the request entirely. Hardly request
smuggling.
