Fedora 25 Varnish Update: CVE-2017-12425 Critical Denial Of Service Alert

This is Varnish Cache, a high-performance HTTP accelerator.

Varnish Cache stores web pages in memory so web servers don't have to

create the same web page over and over again. Varnish Cache serves

pages much faster than any application server; giving the website a

significant speed up.

Documentation wiki and additional information about Varnish Cache is

available on: https://vinyl-cache.org/
