OESA-2021-1032 (CVE-2019-15892)
Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2021-02-05 11:04 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:04 – Source websiteThis is Varnish Cache, a web application accelerator also known as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. You install it in front of any server that speaks HTTP and configure it to cache the contents. Varnish Cache is really, really fast. It typically speeds up delivery with a factor of 300 - 1000x, depending on your architecture.\r\n\r\n Security Fix(es):\r\n\r\n An issue was discovered in Varnish Cache before 6.0.4 LTS, and 6.1.x and 6.2.x before 6.2.1. An HTTP/1 parsing failure allows a remote attacker to trigger an assert by sending crafted HTTP/1 requests. The assert will cause an automatic restart with a clean cache, which makes it a Denial of Service attack.(CVE-2019-15892)\r\n\r\n
