CVE-2018-19115 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Centos:7 keepalived to version 0:1.3.5-8.el7_6 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream keepalived package and not the keepalived package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
keepalived before 2.0.7 has a heap-based buffer overflow when parsing HTTP status codes resulting in DoS or possibly unspecified other impact, because extract_status_code in lib/html.c has no validation of the status code and instead writes an unlimited amount of data to the heap.
