BUG/MEDIUM: log: parsing log-forward options may result in segfault
As reported by GH user @HiggsTeilchen on #3250, the use of "option
dont-parse-log" may result in segmentation fault when parsing the
configuration. In fact, "option assume-rfc6587-ntf" is also affected.

The reason behind this is that cfg_parse_log_forward() leverages the
cfg_parse_listen_match_option() function to check for generic proxy
options that are relevant in the PR_MODE_SYSLOG context. And while it
is not documented, this function assumes that the currently evaluated
proxy is stored in the global variable 'curproxy', which
cfg_parse_log_forward() doesn't offer.

cfg_parse_listen_match_option() uses curproxy to check the currently
evaluated proxy's capabilities is compatible with the option, so if a
proxy with the frontend capability was defined earlier in the config,
parsing would succeed, if curproxy points to proxy without the frontend
capabilty (ie: backend), a warning would be emitted to tell that the
option would be ignored while it is perfectly valid for the log-forward
proxy, and if no proxy was defined earlier in the config a segfault would
be triggered.

To fix the issue, we explicitly make "curproxy" global variable point to
the log-forward proxy being parsed in cfg_parse_log_forward() before
leveraging cfg_parse_listen_match_option() to check for compatible
options.

It must be backported with 834e9af8 ("MINOR: log: add options eval for
log-forward"), which was introduced in 3.2 precisely.

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
