HAProxy has always called luaL_openlibs() unconditionally, which opens all standard Lua libraries including io, os, package and debug. This makes it impossible to prevent Lua scripts from executing binaries (os.execute, io.popen), loading native C modules (package/require), or bypassing any Lua-level sandbox via the debug library. Add a new global directive tune.lua.openlibs that accepts a comma-separated list of library names to load: tune.lua.openlibs none # only base + coroutine tune.lua.openlibs string,math,table,utf8 # safe libs only tune.lua.openlibs all # default, same as before The base and coroutine libraries are always loaded regardless: base provides core Lua functions that HAProxy relies on, and coroutine is required because HAProxy overrides coroutine.create() with its own safe implementation. When all libraries are enabled (the default), the fast path still calls luaL_openlibs() directly with no overhead. A parse error is returned if the directive appears after lua-load or lua-load-per-thread (the Lua state is already initialised at that point), or if 'none' is combined with other library names. Note that fork() and new thread creation are already blocked by default regardless of this setting (see "insecure-fork-wanted").
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.
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)
