RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

I would like to request an update of haproxy to the updated version 1.5.19 (currently RHEL7 has 1.5.18)

The new 1.5.19 comes with some important fixes that make it worth updating.

Thank you.

Please enumerate the important fixes that justify the rebase.

There are 3-4 important fixes, but two of them affect me personally, these are:

1) redispatch leaves frozen connections and eventually causes them to pile up over time.

2) there is a crash bug when using "compression algo" in zlib. I'm using:
compression algo          gzip deflate

Both the above cause tons of problems for our haproxy and have just been fixed in 1.5.19.

The other important fixes, as I mentioned above, don't affect me but are equally important.

Thank you.

Please contact Red Hat Support to discuss any issues that you are experiencing with haproxy.
