Description

Gazelle versions through 0.49 for Perl allows HTTP Request Smuggling via Improper Header Precedence.

Gazelle incorrectly prioritizes "Content-Length" over "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" when both headers are present in an HTTP request. Per RFC 7230 3.3.3, Transfer-Encoding must take precedence.

An attacker could exploit this to smuggle malicious HTTP requests via a front-end reverse proxy.
