It was reported by Przemyslaw Bromber that using the "generate-certificates" option combined with AWS-LC would crash HAProxy when a request is done with a SNI longer than 64 bytes. The problem is that the certificate is generated with a CN greater than 64 bytes which results in ssl_sock_do_create_cert() returning NULL. This NULL value being passed to SSL_set_SSL_CTX. With OpenSSL, passing a NULL SSL_CTX does not seem to be an issue as it would just ignore it. With AWS_LC, passing a NULL seems to crash the function. This was reported to upstream AWS-LC and fixed in patch 7487ad1dcd8 https://github.com/aws/aws-lc/pull/2946. This must be backported in every branches.
