Bug 22623 – Uninitialized memory access in cache parsing code

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebCore Misc.

This patch added two additional fields:

 	129	    mutable bool m_haveParsedCacheControlHeader:1; 
 	130	    mutable bool m_haveParsedPragmaHeader:1; 

These are not initialized anywhere.  They should likely both be set to false in the constructor above.  This is causing undefined behavior, it can lead to the code thinking we have already parsed the cache control header (and returning the already parsed value), when we actually have no parsed anything.
