redirect() in bottle.py in bottle 0.12.10 doesnt filter a rn sequence, which leads to a CRLF attack, as demonstrated by a redirect(233rnSet-Cookie: name=salt) call.

Weakness

The product uses CRLF (carriage return line feeds) as a special element, e.g. to separate lines or records, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes CRLF sequences from inputs.

Affected Software
