sink_new_from_srv() leverages sink_new_buf() with the server id as name,
sink_new_buf() then calls __sink_new() with the provided name.
Unfortunately sink_new() is designed in such a way that it will first look
up in the list of existing sinks to check if a sink already exists with
given name, in which case the existing sink is returned. While this
behavior may be error-prone, it is actually up to the caller to ensure
that the provided name is unique if it really expects a unique sink
pointer.
Due to this bug in sink_new_from_srv(), multiple tcp servers with the same
name defined in distinct log backends would end up sharing the same sink,
which means messages sent to one of the servers would also be forwarded to
all servers with the same name across all log backend sections defined in
the config, which is obviously an issue and could even raise security
concerns.
Example:
defaults
log backend@log-1 local0
backend log-1
mode log
server s1 127.0.0.1:514
backend log-2
mode log
server s1 127.0.0.1:5114
With the above config, logs sent to log-1/s1 would also end up being sent
to log-2/s1 due to server id "s1" being used for tcp servers in distinct
log backends.
To fix the issue, we now prefix the sink ame with the backend name:
back_name/srv_id combination is known to be unique (backend name
serves as a namespace)
This bug was reported by GH user @landon-lengyel under #2846.
UDP servers (with udp@ prefix before the address) are not affected as they
don't make use of the sink facility.
As a workaround, one should manually ensure that all tcp servers across
different log backends (backend with "mode log" enabled) use unique names
This bug was introduced in e58a9b4 ("MINOR: sink: add sink_new_from_srv()
function") thus it exists since the introduction of log backends in 2.9,
which means this patch should be backported up to 2.9.
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.

- 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
