http.client accepts Content-Length and chunk-size values that RFC 9112 forbids

http.client derives the response body framing from int() of the Content-Length header and the chunked chunk-size line:

• HTTPResponse.begin: self.length = int(length)
• HTTPResponse._read_next_chunk_size: return int(line, 16)

RFC 9112 defines Content-Length = 1*DIGIT and chunk-size = 1*HEXDIG, but int() is more permissive: it accepts a leading +/-, underscores, surrounding whitespace and, in base 16, an 0x prefix and non-ASCII digits. So values like Content-Length: +5 / 5_0 and chunk sizes -5, +5, 0x5, 1_f are accepted and used to frame the body, while an RFC-compliant front end would reject them or frame the message differently (CWE-444).

Reproducer:

import http.client, io
class S:
    def __init__(s, d): s.f = io.BytesIO(d)
    def makefile(s, *a, **k): return s.f
def parse(raw):
    r = http.client.HTTPResponse(S(raw)); r.begin(); return r
raw = b'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nTransfer-Encoding: chunked\r\n\r\n+5\r\nHELLO\r\n0\r\n\r\n'
print(parse(raw).read())            # b'HELLO' -- '+5' is not a HEXDIG
raw = b'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nContent-Length: 5_0\r\n\r\n' + b'A'*50
print(parse(raw).length)            # 50 -- '5_0' is not 1*DIGIT

The body-framing tokens should be validated against the grammar before being passed to int().

从 HTTPResponse.begin 和 HTTPResponse._read_next_chunk_size 开始，这里 Content-Length 和 chunk-size 值会使用 int() 进行转换。在转换前，根据 RFC 9112 的语法验证每个 body framing token，并确认 reproducer 中不符合规范的值会被拒绝，或不再用于 framing。
