Discussion

HAProxy 'tcp-request content' CVE-2013-1912 Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

HAProxy is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform boundary checks before copying user-supplied data to insufficiently sized memory buffer.

An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code or corrupt memory process. Failed exploits may result in denial-of-service conditions.

HAProxy versions prior to 1.4.23 are vulnerable.
