glibc gethostbyname buffer overflow
Dear All,
We were asked off-list whether HAProxy is vulnerable to GHOST or not,
and thought others might be interested in the answer as well. The short
version is: HAProxy is NOT vulnerable to GHOST.
The slightly longer version is: we are looking for gethostbyname()
calls whose hostname argument can be controlled by an attacker. There
are indeed a few calls to gethostbyname() in HAProxy, but their hostname
arguments all depend on the configuration file, in the end, so they are
safe (side note: there is getaddrinfo() support too, but it seems to be
turned on for Solaris only, by default).
Hope this is useful. With best regards,
