         <blockquote cite="http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/33712">
           <p>Varnish is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because the application fails to handle certain HTTP requests.

Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to crash the affected application denying further service to legitimate users.
