CRLF injection in urllib3

Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.

QFinch assessment

urllib3 before 1.25.9 allows CRLF injection if the attacker controls the HTTP request method, as demonstrated by inserting CR and LF control characters in the first argument of `putrequest()`. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2020-26116.
