15 Synopsis
16 ========
17
18 A buffer overflow in HAProxy might allow an attacker to execute
19 arbitrary code.
20
21 Background
22 ==========
23
24 HAProxy is a TCP/HTTP reverse proxy for high availability environments.
25
26 Affected packages
27 =================
28
29 -------------------------------------------------------------------
30 Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
31 -------------------------------------------------------------------
32 1 net-proxy/haproxy < 2.1.4 >= 2.0.13:0/2.0
33 >= 2.1.4
34
35 Description
36 ===========
37
38 It was discovered that HAProxy incorrectly handled certain HTTP/2
39 headers.
40
41 Impact
42 ======
43
44 A remote attacker, by sending a specially crafted HTTP/2 request, could
45 possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or
46 cause a Denial of Service condition.
47
48 Workaround
49 ==========
50
51 Disable HTTP/2 support.
52
53 Resolution
54 ==========
55
56 All HAProxy 2.0.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
57
58 # emerge --sync
59 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-proxy/haproxy-2.0.13:0/2.0"
60
61 All other HAProxy users should upgrade to the latest version:
62
63 # emerge --sync
64 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-proxy/haproxy-2.1.4"
