I was currently looking at the list of bugs with security tag but not
tracked in the security tracker[1] and noticed #674447.

Noticed that you closed this bug with version 1.4.15-1. Is this
correct? Looking at the code and the information the pach from [2]
still applies and corrects the trash and trashlen. However
/usr/share/doc/haproxy/configuration.txt.gz clearly says:

tune.bufsize <number>
  Sets the buffer size to this size (in bytes). Lower values allow more
  sessions to coexist in the same amount of RAM, and higher values allow some
  applications with very large cookies to work. The default value is 16384 and
  can be changed at build time. It is strongly recommended not to change this
  from the default value, as very low values will break some services such as
  statistics, and values larger than default size will increase memory usage,
  possibly causing the system to run out of memory. At least the global maxconn
  parameter should be decreased by the same factor as this one is increased.

So changing this from non-default value can result in the problem
(downgrading severity for the bugreport?)

The mentioned patch was only applied 1.4.21 upstream.

Would be great if you could doublecheck my comment above. Or why is it
fixed in 1.4.15?

Salvatore
