Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This update for varnish fixes the following issues :

Security issue fixed :

- CVE-2019-15892: Fixed a potential denial of service by sending crafted HTTP/1 requests (boo#1149382).

Non-security issues fixed :

	 - Updated the package to release 6.2.1.
