So as I understand this: Varnish front end for web servers, the web
servers can trigger varnish to restart. Are the back end servers
supposed to be able to cause varnish to restart?
I'm guessing not. Scenario: hosting env, or a website with a vuln,
whatever, you can now cause the varnish front ends to restart
constantly, effectively causing a permanent denial of service.
That sounds CVE worthy. Or am I missing something?
