How to fix?

Upgrade AlmaLinux:8 varnish:6/varnish-modules to version 0:0.15.0-6.module_el8.5.0+2620+03a0c2cc or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream varnish:6/varnish-modules package and not the varnish:6/varnish-modules package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023.
