Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (5.41%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

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.
