- CVE-<to be assigned, we couldn’t get one under embargo>
+ CVE-2017-12425
Date: 2017-08-02
A wrong if statement in the varnishd source code means that particular
invalid requests from the client can trigger an assert.
This causes the varnishd worker process to abort and restart, loosing
the cached contents in the process.
An attacker can therefore crash the varnishd worker process on demand
and effectively keep it from serving content - a Denial-of-Service
attack.
Mitigation is possible from VCL or by updating to a fixed version of Varnish
Cache.
