From phk at phk.freebsd.dk Sat Apr 28 07:50:46 2012 From: phk at phk.freebsd.dk (Poul-Henning Kamp) Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2012 07:50:46 +0000 Subject: Almost but not quite a security advisory Message-ID: <49438.1335599446@critter.freebsd.dk> Hi Varnish users, This is a pretty special corner case, way outside what we promise Varnish will do, so I have decided it does not qualify for a security-advisory, however, the announce list is my only way to communicate with the very few people this issue applies to: If You run varnishd as root and You use privilege separation and You accept VCL programs from untrusted sources and You allow the VCL programs to contain inline-C or unverified VMODs. Then please check the 2012-04-28 entry on: https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/TroubleLog Thanks in advance, Poul-Henning -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk at FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
