Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of messages with a missing transfer-encoding header, when HAProxy is configured in legacy mode. The server does not reject "chunked" value that combined with the "http-reuse always" setting can lead to HTTP request smuggling attack.
Remediation
Install updates from vendor's website.
