hlua_httpclient_table_to_hdrs() declares a VLA of size
global.tune.max_http_hdr (default 101) on the stack but never checks
hdr_num against that bound. A Lua script that supplies a header table
with more than 101 values writes struct http_hdr entries (two ist =
two heap pointers + two lengths) past the end of the VLA, smashing
the stack frame.
Trigger from any Lua action/task/service:
local hc = core.httpclient()
local v = {}
for i = 1, 300 do v[i] = "x" end
hc:get{ url = "http://127.0.0.1/", headers = { ["X"] = v } }
Each out-of-bounds entry writes a heap pointer (controllable
allocation contents via istdup) plus an attacker-chosen length onto
the stack, overwriting the saved return address. With no stack
canary, this is direct RCE; with a canary, it requires a leak first.
Reachable from any deployment that loads Lua scripts. While Lua
scripts are nominally trusted, this turns "can edit Lua" into "can
execute arbitrary native code", which is a meaningful boundary in
many setups (Lua sandbox escape).
This must be backported as far as the httpclient Lua API exists.

HAProxy
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
The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory:
- doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
- doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
- doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual
- doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine
- doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux
- doc/management.txt for the management guide
- doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite
- doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference
- doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style
- doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
License
HAProxy is licensed under GPL 2 or any later version, the headers under LGPL 2.1. See the LICENSE file for a more detailed explanation.
