Charlie Smurthwaite of aTech Media discovered a flaw in HAProxy, a fast

A client can take advantage of this flaw to cause data corruption and
retrieve uninitialized memory contents that exhibit data from a past
request or session.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.5.8-3+deb8u1.
