BUG/MINOR: mjson: make mystrtod() length-aware to prevent out-of-bounds reads
mystrtod() was not length-aware and relied on null-termination or a
non-numeric character to stop. The fix adds a length parameter as a
strict upper bound for all pointer accesses.

The practical impact in haproxy is essentially null: all callers embed
the JSON payload inside a large haproxy buffer, so the speculative read
past the last digit lands on memory that is still within the same
allocation. ASAN cannot detect it in a normal haproxy run for the same
reason — the overread never escapes the enclosing buffer. Triggering a
detectable fault requires placing the JSON payload at the exact end of
an allocation.

Note: the 'path' buffer was using a null-terminated string so the result
of strlen is passed to it, this part was not at risk.

Thanks to Kamil Frankowicz for the original bug report.

This patch must be backported to all maintained versions.

HAProxy logo

HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.

Installation

The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.

Getting help

The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.

The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.

Documentation

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for:

  • INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  • BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  • LICENSE for the project's license
  • CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions
