CVE-2019-18277

haproxy: HTTP request smuggling issue with transfer-encoding header containing an obfuscated "chunked" value

Published Oct 23, 2019 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS 10.1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A flaw was found in HAProxy before 2.0.6. In legacy mode, messages featuring a transfer-encoding header missing the "chunked" value were not being correctly rejected. The impact was limited but if combined with the "http-reuse always" setting, it could be used to help construct an HTTP request smuggling attack against a vulnerable component employing a lenient parser that would ignore the content-length header as soon as it saw a transfer-encoding one (even if not entirely valid according to the specification).
