commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=9d1dab1b80ae5b0851e29b9273e248d966ad8637
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

If there's no registered handler for a POST request, the default behaviour
is to write it to the filesystem. Several million deployed devices appear
to have this behaviour, making it possible to (at least) store arbitrary
data on them. Add a configure option that enables this behaviour, and change
the default to just drop POSTs that aren't directly handled.

+Fixes CVE-2016-6255: write files via POST
+
+If there's no registered handler for a POST request, the default behaviour
+is to write it to the filesystem. Several million deployed devices appear
+to have this behaviour, making it possible to (at least) store arbitrary
+data on them. Add a configure option that enables this behaviour, and change
+the default to just drop POSTs that aren't directly handled.
