+	  <p>If Varnish receives a certain illegal request, and the subroutine
+	    'vcl_error{}' restarts the request, the varnishd worker process
+	    will crash with an assert.
+	  </p>
+	  <p>The varnishd management process will restart the worker process, but
+	    there will be a brief interruption of service and the cache will be
+	    emptied, causing more traffic to go to the backend.
+	  </p>
+	  <p>We are releasing this advisory because restarting from vcl_error{} is both fairly common and documented.</p>
+	  <p>This is purely a denial of service vulnerability, there is no risk of privilege escalation.</p>
+	  <p>Workaround</p>
+	  <p>Insert this at the top of your VCL file:</p>
+	  <pre>
+		sub vcl_error {
+			if (obj.status == 400 || obj.status == 413) {
+				return(deliver);
+			}
+		}
+
+		Or add this test at the top of your existing vcl_error{}.
