In 8ba10fea6 ("BUG/MINOR: peers: Incomplete peers sections should be
validated."), some checks were relaxed in parse_server(), and extra logic
was added in the peers section parser in an attempt to properly ignore
incomplete "server" or "peer" statement under peers section.
This was done in response to GH #565, the main intent was that haproxy
should already complain about incomplete peers section (ie: missing
localpeer).
However, 8ba10fea69 explicitly skipped the peer cleanup upon missing
srv association for local peers. This is wrong because later haproxy
code always assumes that peer->srv is valid. Indeed, we got reports
that the (invalid) config below would cause segmentation fault on
all stable versions:
global
localpeer 01JM0TEPAREK01FQQ439DDZXD8
peers my-table
peer 01JM0TEPAREK01FQQ439DDZXD8
listen dummy
bind localhost:8080
To fix the issue, instead of by-passing some cleanup for the local
peer, handle this case specifically by doing the regular peer cleanup
and reset some fields set on the curpeers and curpeers proxy because
of the invalid local peer (do as if the peer was not declared).
It should still comply with requirements from #565.
This patch should be backported to all stable versions.
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.
