A recent patch for varnish has been released to mitigate a moderate severity denial of service vulnerability. Review the specifics today.
An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description

This update for varnish fixes the following issues:

Security issue fixed:

- CVE-2019-15892: Fixed a potential denial of service by sending crafted

HTTP/1 requests (boo#1149382).

Non-security issues fixed:

- Updated the package to release 6.2.1.

- Added a thread pool watchdog which will restart the worker process if

scheduling tasks onto worker threads appears stuck. The new parameter

"thread_pool_watchdog" configures it.

- Disabled error for clobbering, which caused bogus error in varnishtest.

This update was imported from the openSUSE:Leap:15.0:Update update project.
