An integer overflow exists in HAProxy 2.0 through 2.5 in htx_add_header that can be exploited to perform an HTTP request smuggling attack, allowing an attacker to bypass all configured http-request HAProxy ACLs and possibly other ACLs.

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the haproxy-2.4.7-1.el9 build changelog.

  - An issue was discovered in HAProxy 2.2 before 2.2.16, 2.3 before 2.3.13, and 2.4 before 2.4.3. It does not     ensure that the scheme and path portions of a URI have the expected characters. For example, the authority     field (as observed on a target HTTP/2 server) might differ from what the routing rules were intended to     achieve. (CVE-2021-39240)

  - An issue was discovered in HAProxy 2.0 before 2.0.24, 2.2 before 2.2.16, 2.3 before 2.3.13, and 2.4 before     2.4.3. An HTTP method name may contain a space followed by the name of a protected resource. It is     possible that a server would interpret this as a request for that protected resource, such as in the GET     /admin? HTTP/1.1 /static/images HTTP/1.1 example. (CVE-2021-39241)

  - An issue was discovered in HAProxy 2.2 before 2.2.16, 2.3 before 2.3.13, and 2.4 before 2.4.3. It can lead     to a situation with an attacker-controlled HTTP Host header, because a mismatch between Host and authority     is mishandled. (CVE-2021-39242)

  - An integer overflow exists in HAProxy 2.0 through 2.5 in htx_add_header that can be exploited to perform     an HTTP request smuggling attack, allowing an attacker to bypass all configured http-request HAProxy ACLs     and possibly other ACLs. (CVE-2021-40346)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
