    <p>HAProxy is a TCP/HTTP reverse proxy for high availability environments.</p>

  <description>
    <p>It was discovered that HAProxy incorrectly handled certain HTTP/2
      headers.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker, by sending a specially crafted HTTP/2 request, could
      possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or
      cause a Denial of Service condition.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>Disable HTTP/2 support.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All HAProxy 2.0.x users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-proxy/haproxy-2.0.13:0/2.0"
    </code>
    
    <p>All other HAProxy users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
