According to snprintf() man page:
The functions snprintf() and vsnprintf() do not write more than
size bytes (including the terminating null byte ('\0')). If the
output was truncated due to this limit, then the return value is
the number of characters (excluding the terminating null byte)
which would have been written to the final string if enough space
had been available. Thus, a return value of size or more means
that the output was truncated.
However, in sess_build_logline(), each time we need to check the return
value of snprintf(), here is how we proceed:
iret = snprintf(tmplog, max, ...);
if (iret < 0 || iret > max)
// error
// success
tmplog += iret;
Here is the issue: if snprintf() lacks 1 byte space to write the
terminating NULL byte, it will return max. Which means in this case
that we fail to know that snprintf() truncated the output in reality,
and we still add iret to tmplog pointer. Considering sess_build_logline()
should NOT write more than <maxsize> bytes (including the terminating NULL
byte) as per the function description, in this case the function would
write <maxsize>+1 byte (to write the terminating NULL byte upon return),
which may lead to invalid write if <dst> was meant to hold <maxsize> bytes
at maximum.
Hopefully, this bug wasn't triggered so far because sess_build_logline()
is called with logline as <dst> argument and <global.max_syslog_len> as
<maxsize> argument, logline being initialized with 1 extra byte upon
startup.
But we better fix this to comply with the function description and prevent
any side-effect since some sess_build_logline() helpers may assume that
'tmplog-dst < maxsize' is always true. Also sess_build_logline() users
probably don't expect NULL-byte to be accounted for in the produced
logline length.
This should be backported to all stable versions.

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for : - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use - LICENSE for the project's license - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory : - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux - doc/management.txt for the management guide - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
