Since security updates for CentOS 6 are not provided anymore, I've decided to try my best to address CVE-2020-1971 and I welcome others to do the same for this and other new issues which may come up.
Thanks to Simon for doing this.
I made my own patch which ended up the same as Simon's apart from whitespace and formatting. It's been deployed on a CentOS 6 system that can't be upgraded yet due to... reasons. Seems to work in the limited testing I've done.
Cheers,
