Dist Fedora Esm H88
Stay updated on Varnish security patches for Fedora 37 to protect against critical request vulnerabilities and ensure your server's integrity
New upstream release: A security release

Summary

This is a collection of modules ("vmods") extending Varnish VCL used

for describing HTTP request/response policies with additional

capabilities. This collection contains the following vmods:

bodyaccess, header, saintmode, tcp, var, vsthrottle, xkey

New upstream release: A security release. This release includes fix for

CVE-2022-45059 (VSV00011) and CVE-2022-45060 (VSV00010). From the upstream

release notes: VSV00010 Varnish Request Smuggling Vulnerability Date:

2022-11-08 A request smuggling attack can be performed on Varnish Cache servers

by requesting that certain headers are made hop-by-hop, preventing the Varnish

Cache servers from forwarding critical headers to the backend. Among the headers

that can be filtered this way are both Content-Length and Host, making it

possible for an attacker to both break the HTTP/1 protocol framing, and bypass

request to host routing in VCL. VSV00011 Varnish HTTP/2 Request Forgery

Vulnerability Date: 2022-11-08 A request forgery attack can be performed on

Varnish Cache servers that have the HTTP/2 protocol turned on. An attacker may

introduce characters through the HTTP/2 pseudo-headers that are invalid in the

context of an HTTP/1 request line, causing the Varnish server to produce invalid

HTTP/1 requests to the backend. This may in turn be used to successfully exploit

vulnerabilities in a server behind the Varnish server.
