Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2014-036 - Varnish before 3.0.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a GET request with trailing whitespace characters and no URI. Also, the services have been converted from SysV init scripts to systemd-native services, which should allow for more consistent behavior.

Problem Description:
Updated varnish packages fix security vulnerabilities:
Varnish before 3.0.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (child-process crash and temporary caching outage) via a GET
request with trailing whitespace characters and no URI (CVE-2013-4484).
Also, the services have been converted from SysV init scripts to
systemd-native services, which should allow for more consistent
behavior.
