Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime in the parsing process of nested PP2_TYPE_SSL TLVs within the HAProxy PROXY protocol v2 codec. An attacker can cause memory exhaustion by sending syntactically valid headers containing deeply nested PP2_TYPE_SSL TLVs, which leads to a memory leak as the underlying buffer remains pinned.
