patch available.

  - An issue was discovered in HAProxy before 3.3.6. The HTTP/3 parser does not check that the received body
    length matches a previously announced content-length when the stream is closed via a frame with an empty
    payload. This can cause desynchronization issues with the backend server and could be used for request
    smuggling. The earliest affected version is 2.6. (CVE-2026-33555)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
