Peter Korsgaard 8fb8dddbf4 openocd: add security fix for CVE-2018-5704
Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) 0.10.0 does not block attempts to use HTTP
POST for sending data to 127.0.0.1 port 4444, which allows remote attackers
to conduct cross-protocol scripting attacks, and consequently execute
arbitrary commands, via a crafted web site.

Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2018-5704: Prevent some forms of Cross Protocol Scripting
attacks
OpenOCD can be targeted by a Cross Protocol Scripting attack from
a web browser running malicious code, such as the following PoC:
var x = new XMLHttpRequest();
x.open("POST", "http://127.0.0.1:4444", true);
x.send("exec xcalc\r\n");
This mitigation should provide some protection from browser-based
attacks and is based on the corresponding fix in Redis:
https://github.com/antirez/redis/blob/8075572207b5aebb1385c4f233f5302544439325/src/networking.c#L1758
Upstream-status: Under review: http://openocd.zylin.com/#/c/4335/
