Synopsis
========

A vulnerability in HAProxy might lead to remote execution of arbitrary
code.

Background
==========

HAProxy is a TCP/HTTP reverse proxy for high availability environments.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-proxy/haproxy            < 2.0.10                 *>= 1.8.23
                                                           *>= 1.9.13
                                                           *>= 2.0.10

Description
===========

It was discovered that HAProxy incorrectly handled certain HTTP/2
headers.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted HTTP/2 header,
possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges
of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All HAProxy 1.8.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-proxy/haproxy-1.8.23"

All HAProxy 1.9.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-proxy/haproxy-1.9.13"

All HAProxy 2.0.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-proxy/haproxy-2.0.10"
