[issue14001] Python v2.7.2 / v3.2.2 (SimpleXMLRPCServer): DoS (excessive CPU usage) by processing malformed XMLRPC / HTTP POST request

[Charles-François Natali]

Charles-François Natali <neologix at free.fr> added the comment:

SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler.do_POST() is simply looping on EOF.
The patch attached fixes this (the server doesn't seem to generate an error in response to this partial request though).
