If a front-end server does not parse header fields with an LF the same
way as it does those with a CRLF it can lead to the front-end and the
back-end server parsing the same HTTP message in two different ways.
This can lead to a potential for HTTP request smuggling/splitting whereby
Waitress may see two requests while the front-end server only sees a
single HTTP message (CVE-2019-16785).

Waitress through version 1.3.1 would parse the Transfer-Encoding header
and only look for a single string value, if that value was not chunked
it would fall through and use the Content-Length header instead. This
could allow for Waitress to treat a single request as multiple requests
in the case of HTTP pipelining (CVE-2019-16786).

In Waitress through version 1.4.0, if a proxy server is used in front of
waitress, an invalid request may be sent by an attacker that bypasses the
front-end and is parsed differently by waitress leading to a potential for
HTTP request smuggling. If a front-end server does HTTP pipelining to a
backend Waitress server this could lead to HTTP request splitting which
may lead to potential cache poisoning or unexpected information disclosure
(CVE-2019-16789).");
