The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202012-22 (HAProxy: Arbitrary code execution)

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

    A remote attacker, by sending a specially crafted HTTP/2 request, could       possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or       cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    Disable HTTP/2 support.

According to the version of the haproxy package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - In hpack_dht_insert in hpack-tbl.c in the HPACK decoder     in HAProxy 1.8 through 2.x before 2.1.4, a remote     attacker can write arbitrary bytes around a certain     location on the heap via a crafted HTTP/2 request,     possibly causing remote code execution.(CVE-2020-11100)
