Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream haproxy18 package and not the haproxy18 package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

An out-of-bounds read issue was discovered in the HTTP/2 protocol decoder in HAProxy 1.8.x and 1.9.x through 1.9.0 which can result in a crash. The processing of the PRIORITY flag in a HEADERS frame requires 5 extra bytes, and while these bytes are skipped, the total frame length was not re-checked to make sure they were present in the frame.
