Subject: [PATCH] libvncserver: fix NULL pointer dereferences in httpd proxy
handlers
httpProcessInput() passes the return value of strchr() to atoi()
and strncmp() without checking for NULL. If a CONNECT request
contains no colon, or a GET request contains no slash, strchr()
returns NULL, leading to a segmentation fault.
Add NULL checks before using the strchr() return values.
