    Summary: KeyValueReader passes uninitialized memory to Read instance

    Details: The `KeyValueReader` type in affected versions of this crate set up an uninitialized memory buffer and passed them to be read in to a user-provided `Read` instance. The `Read` instance could read uninitialized memory and cause undefined behavior and miscompilations. This issue was fixed in commit [dd59b30](https://github.com/SolraBizna/outer_cgi/commit/dd59b3066e616a08e756f72de8dc3ab11b7036c4) by zero-initializing the buffers before passing them.
