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.


Both of these are referring to the same issue.

Steve, CVE-assign could you clarify which CVE id should be kept and
which one should be rejected as duplicate?

Thank you && Regards, Jan.
