CVE-2026-110354: HAProxy denial of service in HTTP/1.1 chunked request parsing

CVE-2026-110354 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-10-22

HAProxy is a load balancer that distributes network traffic across servers. An attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests to exhaust worker threads, causing the service to become unresponsive and require a restart. Remote attackers can exploit this without authentication.

Technical details

A flaw in HAProxy 3.x's HTTP/1.1 chunked request parser causes the parser to repeatedly re-process the same bytes without progress, spinning the worker thread at 100% CPU. The condition persists after client disconnection and timeout expiration; repeated requests exhaust all worker threads, forcing process restart. Attack requires no authentication and can be delivered over the network.
