The ims_auth module reads the value from the Content-Length header of a REGISTER request, before decoding the message body. Due to a missing null pointer check, reading this value leads to core dump in case the Content-Length header is missing.

Merged #1213.
Merged, thanks!
Thanks. What can I do to enable/support backporting to 5.0 and 4.4 branches?
You can use `git cherry-pick -x MASTER_COMMIT_ID` in branches `5.0` and `4.4` to make the backports in your local clones, then push them here as pull requests.
Thanks. We discussed and decided not to backport currently.
