[security] Fix crash when the Upgrade header cannot be read
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It is possible that the Upgrade header is correctly received and handled
(the `'upgrade'` event is emitted) without its value being returned to
the user. This can happen if the number of received headers exceed the
`server.maxHeadersCount` or `request.maxHeadersCount` threshold. In this
case `incomingMessage.headers.upgrade` may not be set.

Handle the case correctly and abort the handshake.

Fixes #2230
