CVE-2026-55203
Last modified
CVE-2026-55203 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.1/10 on the CVSS scale. HAProxy through 3.4.0, fixed in commit 5985276, contains an integer overflow vulnerability in the fcgi_conn structure's drl field that allows buffer misparse as new FCGI record headers. When contentLength is 65535 and paddingLength is 1 or more, the drl field wraps to 0, causing incorrect record consumption and allowing malicious FastCGI backends to desynchronize the FCGI framing parser, potentially causing request routing errors, response smuggling, or memory safety issues.. EPSS estimates a 0.32% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
