+Fixed a security issue where an attacker could compose an HTTP response with
+virtually unlimited links in the ``Content-Encoding`` header, potentially
+leading to a denial of service (DoS) attack by exhausting system resources
+during decoding. The number of allowed chained encodings is now limited to 5.
