A denial of service vulnerability was discovered in Varnish, a state of the art, high-performance web accelerator. Specially crafted HTTP requests can cause the Varnish daemon to assert and restart, clearing the cache in the process.

See https://varnish-cache.org/security/VSV00001.html for details.
