Descriptions

An issue was discovered in dns.c in HAProxy through 1.8.14. In the case of a compressed pointer, a crafted packet can trigger infinite recursion by making the pointer point to itself, or create a long chain of valid pointers resulting in stack exhaustion.

Se ha descubierto un problema en dns.c en HAProxy hasta la versión 1.8.14. En el caso de un puntero comprimido, un paquete manipulado puede desencadenar una recursión infinita haciendo que el puntero se señale a sí mismo o cree una cadena larga de punteros válidos, lo que resulta en el agotamiento de la pila.
