How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:14 haproxy to version 1.4.23-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream haproxy package and not the haproxy package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.

Buffer overflow in the trash buffer in the header capture functionality in HAProxy before 1.4.21, when global.tune.bufsize is set to a value greater than the default and header rewriting is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
