Debian DSA-4649-1 : haproxy - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 135416

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Felix Wilhelm of Google Project Zero discovered that HAProxy, a TCP/HTTP reverse proxy, did not properly handle HTTP/2 headers. This would allow an attacker to write arbitrary bytes around a certain location on the heap, resulting in denial-of-service or potential arbitrary code execution.

Solution

Upgrade the haproxy packages.

For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.19-1+deb10u2.
