+# haproxy-0002 — flt_spoe.c SPOE message/group duplicate detection O(N²)
+
+## Ecosystem
+haproxy (C)
+
+## Severity
+LOW — config parsing only, not hot path
+
+## Location
+`src/flt_spoe.c`
+- Line 1580: `while (*args[cur_arg])` + `list_for_each_entry(ph, &curmphs, list)` + `strcmp`
+- Line 1604: `while (*args[cur_arg])` + `list_for_each_entry(ph, &curgphs, list)` + `strcmp`
+- Line 1991: `while (*args[cur_arg])` + `list_for_each_entry(ph, &curgrp->phs, list)` + `strcmp`
+
+## Description
+When parsing `messages` and `groups` directives in a SPOE agent section,
+haproxy checks for duplicate names by walking the linked list of already-
+registered placeholders for every new argument:
+
+```c
+while (*args[cur_arg]) {              // outer: N args
+    list_for_each_entry(ph, &curmphs, list) { // inner: O(M) list scan
+        if (strcmp(ph->id, args[cur_arg]) == 0) { // string comparison
+            /* duplicate found */
+        }
+    }
+    ...
+    cur_arg++;
+}
+```
+
+Complexity: O(N²) for N message/group names in a SPOE `messages` directive.
+
+Fix: accumulate seen names in a hash table (e.g., haproxy's `eb_root`
+ebtree or a simple open-addressing hashtable) and check O(1) per insertion.
+
+## CWE
+CWE-407: Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity
+
+## Fix (sketch)
+Replace linked-list scan with `ebtst_lookup` on a per-parse-context
+`eb_root`:
+
+```c
+struct eb_root seen_msgs = EB_ROOT;
+while (*args[cur_arg]) {
+    // O(log N) ebtree lookup instead of O(N) list walk
+    if (ebtst_lookup(&seen_msgs, args[cur_arg])) {
+        ha_alert("duplicate '%s'\n", args[cur_arg]);
+        goto out;
+    }
+    // insert into ebtree
+    struct ebmb_node *node = calloc(1, sizeof(*node) + strlen(args[cur_arg]) + 1);
+    memcpy(node->key, args[cur_arg], strlen(args[cur_arg]) + 1);
+    ebst_insert(&seen_msgs, node);
+    ...
+    cur_arg++;
+}
+```
+
+## Speedup
+N=100 names: 100x reduction (O(N²) → O(N log N)).
