    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-55204:
    HAProxy through  3.4.0, fixed in commit 9a6d1fe, contains a null pointer dereference vulnerability in
    hpack_dht_insert() within src/hpack-tbl.c that fails to validate the return value of hpack_dht_defrag()
    when the memory pool is exhausted. An attacker can trigger HPACK dynamic table insertions under memory
    pressure to dereference a NULL pointer and crash HAProxy worker processes, causing denial of service.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
