Summary

Passing certain inputs to multipart forms could have resulted in too
many open files or memory exhaustion, and provided a potential vector

The number of files parts parsed is now limited via a new
DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_NUMBER_FILES setting.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
