The key_base field of the global_ssl structure is an strdup'ed field
(when set) which was never free'd during deinit.
This patch can be backported up to branch 3.0.
Some fields of the global_ssl structure are strings that are strdup'ed
but never freed. There is only one static global_ssl structure so not
much memory is used but we might as well free it during deinit.
This patch can be backported to all stable branches.
Conditions to detect the spinning loop for applets based on the new API are
not accurrate. We cannot continue to check the channel's buffers state to
know if an applet has made some progress. At least, we must also check the
applet's buffers.
After digging to find the right way to do, it was clear that the best is to
use something similar to what is performed for the streams, namely, checking
read and write events. And in fact, it is quite easy to do with the new
API. So let's do so.
This patch must be backported as far as 3.0.
For now, no applets are using the <kop> value when consuming data. At least,
as far as I know. But it remains a good idea to keep the applet API
compatible. So now, the <kip> of the opposite side is properly forwarded to
applets.
By refactoring the HTX to remove the extra field, a bug was introduced in
the stream-connector part. The <kip> (known input payload) value of a sedesc
was moved to <kop> (knwon output payload) using the same sedesc. Of course,
this is totally wrong. <kip> value of a sedesc must be forwarded to the
opposite side.
In addition, the operation is performed in sc_conn_send(). In this function,
we manipulate the stream-connectors. So se_fwd_kip() function was changed to
use the stream-connectors directely.
Now, the function sc_ep_fwd_kip() is now called with the both
stream-connectors to properly forward <kip> from on side to the opposite
side.
The bug is 3.3-specific. No backport needed.
William rightfully pointed that despite the ssl capture being a
structure, some of its entries are only set for certain contents,
so we need to always zero it before using it so as to clear any
remains of a previous use, otherwise we could possibly report some
entries that were only present in the first hello and not the second
one. No need to clear the data though, since any remains will not be
referenced by the fields.
This must be backported wherever commit 336170007c ("BUG/MEDIUM: ssl:
take care of second client hello") is backported.
For a long time we've been observing some sporadic leaks of ssl-capture
pool entries on haproxy.org without figuring exactly the root cause. All
that was seen was that less calls to the free callback were made than
calls to the hello parsing callback, and these were never reproduced
locally.
It recently turned out to be triggered by the presence of "curves" or
"ecdhe" on the "bind" line. Captures have shown the presence of a second
client hello, called "Change Cipher Client Hello" in wireshark traces,
that calls the client hello callback again. That one wasn't prepared for
being called twice per connection, so it allocates an ssl-capture entry
and assigns it to the ex_data entry, possibly overwriting the previous
one.
In this case, the fix is super simple, just reuse the current ex_data
if it exists, otherwise allocate a new one. This completely solves the
problem.
Other callbacks have been audited for the same issue and are not
affected: ssl_ini_keylog() already performs this check and ignores
subsequent calls, and other ones do not allocate data.
This must be backported to all supported versions.
This patch fixes some memory leaks in the configuration parser:
- deinit_acme() was never called
- add ha_free() before every strdup() for section overwrite
- lacked some free() in deinit_acme()
Don't insert the acme account key in the ckchs_tree anymore. ckch_store
are not made to only include a private key. CLI operations are not
possible with them either. That doesn't make much sense to keep it that
way until we rework the ckch_store.
Thanks for previous changes, it is now possible to remove the <extra> field
from the HTX structure. HTX_FL_ALTERED_PAYLOAD flag is also removed because
it is now unsued.
When data are sent to the consumer, the known output payload length is
updated using the known input payload length value and this last one is then
reset. se_fwd_kip() function is used for this purpose.
Set <kip> value when data are transfer to the upper layer, in h3_rcv_buf().
The difference between the known length of the payload before and after a
parsing loop is added to <kip> value. When a content-length is specified in
the message, the h3s <body_len> field is used. Otherwise, it is the h3s
<data_len> field.
Set <kip> value when data are transfer to the upper layer, in h2_rcv_buf().
The new <body_len> filed of the H2S is used to increment <kip> value and
then it is reset. The patch relies on the previous one ("MINOR: mux-h2: Save
the known length of the payload").
Before, the <body_len> H2S field was only use for verity the annonced
content-lenght value was respected. Now, this field is used for all
messages. Messages with a content-length are still handled the same way.
<body_len> is set to the content-length value and decremented by the size of
each DATA frame. For other messages, the value is initialized to ULLONG_MAX
and still decremented by the size of each DATA frame. This change is
mandatory to properly define the known input payload length value of the
sedesc.
Set <kip> value during the response parsing. The difference between the body
length before and after a parsing loop is added. The patch relies on the
previous one ("MINOR: h1-htx: Increment body len when parsing a payload with
no xfer length").
Set <kip> value during the message parsing. The difference between the body
length before and after a parsing loop is added. The patch relies on the
previous one ("MINOR: h1-htx: Increment body len when parsing a payload with
no xfer length").
In the H1 parseur, the body length was only incremented when the transfer
length was known. So when the content-length was specified or when the
transfer-encoding value was set to "chunk".
Now for messages with unknown transfer length, it is also incremented. It is
mandatory to be able to remove the extra field from the HTX message.
For now, the HTX extra value is used to specify the known part, in bytes, of
the HTTP payload we will receive. It may concerne the full payload if a
content-length is specified or the current chunk for a chunk-encoded
message. The main purpose of this value is to be used on the opposite side
to be able to announce chunks bigger than a buffer. It can also be used to
check the validity of the payload on the sending path, to properly detect
too big or too short payload.
However, setting this information in the HTX message itself is not really
appropriate because the information is lost when the HTX message is consumed
and the underlying buffer released. So the producer must take care to always
add it in all HTX messages. it is especially an issue when the payload is
altered by a filter.
So to fix this design issue, the information will be moved in the sedesc. It
is a persistent area to save the information. In addition, to avoid the
ambiguity between what the producer say and what the consumer see, the
information will be splitted in two fields. In this patch, the fields are
added:
* kip : The known input payload length
* kop : The known output payload lenght
The producer will be responsible to set <kip> value. The stream will be
responsible to decrement <kip> and increment <kop> accordingly. And the
consumer will be responsible to remove consumed bytes from <kop>.
QC_SF_UNKNOWN_PL_LENGTH flag is set on the qcs to know a payload of message
has an unknown length and not send a RESET_STREAM on shutdown. This flag was
based on the HTX extra field value. However, it is not necessary. When
headers are processed, before sending them, it is possible to check the HTX
start-line to know if the length of the payload is known or not.
So let's do so and don't use anymore the HTX extra field for this purpose.
In the continuity of https://github.com/orgs/haproxy/discussions/3146,
we must also enable abortonclose by default for TLS listeners so as not
to needlessly compute TLS handshakes on dead connections. The change is
very small (just set the default value to 1 in the TLS code when neither
the option nor its opposite were set).
It may possibly cause some TLS handshakes to start failing with 3.3 in
certain legacy environments (e.g. TLS health-checks performed using only
a client hello and closing afterwards), and in this case it is sufficient
to disable the option using "no option abortonclose" in either the
affected frontend or the "defaults" section it derives from.
With this function we can now pass the desired default value for the
abortonclose option when neither the option nor its opposite were set.
Let's also take this opportunity for using it directly from the HTTP
analyser since there's no point in re-checking the proxy's mode there.
In order to prepare for changing the way abortonclose works, let's
replace the direct flag check with a similarly named function
(proxy_abrt_close) which returns the on/off status of the directive
for the proxy. For now it simply reflects the flag's state.
The "abortonclose" option was recently deprecated in frontends because its
action was essentially limited to the backend part (queuing etc). But in
3.3 we started to support it for TLS on frontends, though it would only
work when placed in a defaults section. Let's officially support it in
frontends, and take this opportunity to clarify the documentation on this
topic, which was incomplete regarding frontend and TLS support. Now the
doc tries to better cover the different use cases.
'wait-for-body' action set analyse_exp date for the channel to the
configured time. However, when the action is finished, it does not reset
it. It is an issue for some following actions, like 'pause', that also rely
on this date.
To fix the issue, we must take care to reset the analyse_exp date to
TICK_ETERNITY when the 'wait-for-body' action is finished.
This patch should fix the issue #3147. It must be backported to all stable
versions.
Since 9561b9fb6 ("BUG/MINOR: sink: add tempo between 2 connection
attempts for sft servers"), there is a possibility that the tempo we use
to schedule the task expiry may point to TICK_ETERNITY as we add ticks to
tempo with a simple addition that doesn't take care of potential wrapping.
When this happens (although relatively rare, since now_ms only wraps every
49.7 days, but a forced wrap occurs 20 seconds after haproxy is started
so it is more likely to happen there), the process_sink_forward() task
expiry being set to TICK_ETERNITY, it may never be called again, this
is especially true if the ring section only contains a single server.
To fix the issue, we must use tick_add() helper function to set the tempo
value and this way we ensure that the value will never be TICK_ETERNITY.
It must be backported everywhere 9561b9fb6 was backported (up to 2.6
it seems).
In connect_server(), only avoid creating a mux when we're reusing a
connection, if that connection already has one. We can reuse a
connection with no mux, if we made a first attempt at connecting to the
server and it failed before we could create the mux (or during the mux
creation). The connection will then be reused when trying again.
This fixes a bug where a stream could stall if the first connection
attempt failed before the mux creation. It is easy to reproduce by
creating random memory allocation failure with -dmFail.
This was introduced by commit 4aaf0bfbced22d706af08725f977dcce9845d340,
and thus does not need any backport as long as that commit is not
backported.
The fix in 3023e98199 ("BUG/MINOR: resolvers: Restore round-robin
selection on records in DNS answers") still contained an issue not
addressed f6dfbbe870 ("BUG/MEDIUM: resolvers: Test for empty tree
when getting a record from DNS answer"). Indeed, if the next element
is the same as the first one, then we can end up with an endless loop
because the test at the end compares the next pointer (possibly null)
with the end one (first).
Let's move the null->first transition at the end. This must be
backported where the patches above were backported (3.2 for now).
The current tests in _h3_handle_hdr() and h3_trailers_to_htx() check
for an interval between 'A' and 'Z' for letters in header field names
that should be forbidden, but mistakenly leave the 'Z' out of the
forbidden range, resulting in it being implicitly valid.
This has no real consequences but should be fixed for the sake of
protocol validity checking.
This must be backported to all relevant versions.

Mjson comes with its own strtod() implementation for portability
reasons and probably also because many generic strtod() versions as
provided by operating systems do not focus on resource preservation
and may call malloc(), which is not welcome in a parser.
The strtod() implementation used here apparently originally comes from
https://gist.github.com/mattn/1890186 and seems to have purposely
omitted a few parts that were considered as not needed in this context
(e.g. skipping white spaces, or setting errno). But when subject to the
relevant test cases of the designated file above, the current function
provides the same results.
The aforementioned implementation uses pow() to calculate exponents,
but mjson authors visibly preferred not to introduce a libm dependency
and replaced it with an iterative loop in O(exp) time. The problem is
that the exponent is not bounded and that this loop can take a huge
amount of time. There's even an issue already opened on mjson about
this: https://github.com/cesanta/mjson/issues/59. In the case of
haproxy, fortunately, the watchdog will quickly stop a runaway process
but this remains a possible denial of service.
A first approach would consist in reintroducing pow() like in the
original implementation, but if haproxy is built without Lua nor
51Degrees, -lm is not used so this will not work everywhere.
Anyway here we're dealing with integer exponents, so an easy alternate
approach consists in simply using shifts and squares, to compute the
exponent in O(log(exp)) time. Not only it doesn't introduce any new
dependency, but it turns out to be even faster than the generic pow()
(85k req/s per core vs 83.5k on the same machine).
This must be backported as far as 2.4, where mjson was introduced.
Many thanks to Oula Kivalo for reporting this issue.
CVE-2025-11230 was assigned to this issue.
Properly handle memory allocation failures, by checking the return value
for pool_alloc(), and if it fails, make sure that the caller will take
it into account.
The only use of pool_alloc() in fwlc is to allocate the tree elements in
order to properly queue the server into the ebtree, so if that
allocation fails, just schedule the requeue tasklet, that will try
again, until it hopefully eventually succeeds.
This should be backported to 3.2.
This should fix github issue #3143.
Modify fwlc_srv_reposition() so that it does not assume that the server
was already queued, and so make it so it works even if s->tree_elt is
NULL.
While the server will usually be queued, there is an unlikely
possibility that when the server attempted to get queued when it got up,
it failed due to a memory allocation failure, and it just expect the
server_requeue tasklet to run to take care of that later.
This should be backported to 3.2.
This is part of an attempt to fix github issue #3143
On creation, schedule the server requeue once it's been created.
It is possible that when the server went up, it tried to queue itself
into the lb specific code, failed to do so, and expect the tasklet to
run to take care of that.
This should be backported to 3.2.
This is part of an attempt to fix github issue #3143.
If a client aborts a pending SSL connection for whatever reason (timeout
etc) and the listen queue is large, it may inflict a severe load to a
frontend which will spend the CPU creating new sessions then killing the
connection. This is similar to HTTP requests aborted just after being
sent, except that asymmetric crypto is way more expensive.
Unfortunately "option abortonclose" has no effect on this, because it
only applies at a higher level.
This patch ensures that handshakes being received on a frontend having
"option abortonclose" set will be checked for a pending close, and if
this is the case, then the connection will be aborted before the heavy
calculations. The principle is to use recv(MSG_PEEK) to detect the end,
and to destroy the pending handshake data before returning to the SSL
library so that it cannot start computing, notices the error and stops.
We don't do it without abortonclose though, because this can be used for
health checks from other haproxy nodes or even other components which
just want to see a handshake succeed.
This is in relation with GH issue #3124.
Normally, when reading a full buffer, or exactly the requested size, it
is not really possible to know if the peer had closed immediately after,
and usually we don't care. There's a problematic case, though, which is
with SSL: the SSL layer reads in small chunks of a few bytes, and can
consume a client_hello this way, then start computation without knowing
yet that the client has aborted. In order to permit knowing more, we now
introduce a new read flag, CO_RFL_TRY_HARDER, which says that if we've
read up to the permitted limit and the flag is set, then we attempt one
extra byte using MSG_PEEK to detect whether the connection was closed
immediately after that content or not. The first use case will obviously
be related to SSL and client_hello, but it might possibly also make sense
on HTTP responses to detect a pending FIN at the end of a response (e.g.
if a close was already advertised).
