+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Strip Authorization header whenever root URL changes
+
+Previously the header was stripped only if the hostname changed, but in
+an https -> http redirect that can leak the credentials on the wire
+(#4716). Based on with RFC 7235 section 2.2, the header is now stripped
+if the "canonical root URL" (scheme+authority) has changed, by checking
+scheme, hostname and port.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport
+
+Fix CVE-2018-18074
