The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'varnish' package(s) announced via the DSA-3924-1 advisory. 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. It affects 'varnish' package(s) on Debian 8, Debian 9. Please install the updated package(s)
