To execute sample fetches and converters from lua. hlua API leverages the
sample API. Prior to executing the sample func, the arg checker is called
from hlua_run_sample_{fetch,conv}() to detect potential errors.
However, hlua_run_sample_{fetch,conv}() both pass NULL as <err> argument,
but it is wrong for two reasons. First we miss an opportunity to report
precise error messages to help the user know what went wrong during the
check.. and more importantly, some val check functions consider that the
<err> pointer is never NULL. This is the case for example with
check_crypto_hmac(). Because of this, when such val check functions
encounter an error, they will crash the process because they will try
to de-reference NULL.
This bug was discovered and reported by GH user @JB0925 on #2745.
Perhaps val check functions should make sure that the provided <err>
pointer is != NULL prior to de-referencing it. But since there are
multiple occurences found in the code and the API isn't clear about that,
it is easier to fix the hlua part (caller) for now.
To fix the issue, let's always provide a valid <err> pointer when
leveraging val_arg() check function pointer, and make use of it in case
or error to report relevant message to the user before freeing it.
It should be backported to all stable versions.

HAProxy
HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.
Installation
The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.
Getting help
The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.
The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.
Documentation
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.
Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for:
- INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
- BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
- LICENSE for the project's license
- CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions
The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory:
- doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
- doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
- doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual
- doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine
- doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux
- doc/management.txt for the management guide
- doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite
- doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference
- doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style
