Greg Kroah-Hartman 0aeae23056 BUG/MEDIUM: mux-fcgi: prevent record-length truncation with large bufsize
FCGI content_length is a 16-bit field but fcgi_set_record_size()
is called with size_t/uint32_t arguments. With tune.bufsize >= 65544
(legal; cfgparse-global.c only enforces <= INT_MAX-16), a single
HTX DATA block or accumulated outbuf can exceed 65535 bytes. The
implicit conversion to uint16_t silently truncates the length field
while b_add(mbuf, outbuf.data) writes the full body.

A client posting ~99000 bytes can craft the body so that bytes
after the truncated length are parsed by PHP-FPM as fresh FCGI
records on the connection: a smuggled BEGIN_REQUEST + PARAMS with
arbitrary SCRIPT_FILENAME / PHP_VALUE bypasses all haproxy ACLs.

Fix the zero-copy path by refusing it when the block exceeds 65535
bytes (falls through to copy). Fix the copy path by capping
outbuf.size to 65535 + header so the data-fill loop naturally
stops at the FCGI maximum and emits the rest in a subsequent record.

The PARAMS path at line 2084 is similarly affected but harder to
trigger (requires combined header+param size > 65535) and is
covered by the same outbuf.size cap pattern if applied there.

This patch must be backported to all stable versions.
