Calendar Grey October 2, 2018
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The latest security patch for HAProxy on Fedora 29 resolves an out-of-bounds read vulnerability identified as CVE-2018-14645. It is crucial to update your system to maintain its integrity!
Update to 1.8.14, which includes fix for CVE-2018-14645.

Summary

HAProxy is a TCP/HTTP reverse proxy which is particularly suited for high

availability environments. Indeed, it can:

- route HTTP requests depending on statically assigned cookies

- spread load among several servers while assuring server persistence

through the use of HTTP cookies

- switch to backup servers in the event a main one fails

- accept connections to special ports dedicated to service monitoring

- stop accepting connections without breaking existing ones

- add, modify, and delete HTTP headers in both directions

- block requests matching particular patterns

- report detailed status to authenticated users from a URI

intercepted from the application

Update to 1.8.14, which includes fix for CVE-2018-14645.
