There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:22.04 varnish.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream varnish package and not the varnish package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:22.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

An HTTP Request Forgery issue was discovered in Varnish Cache 5.x and 6.x before 6.0.11, 7.x before 7.1.2, and 7.2.x before 7.2.1. An attacker may introduce characters through HTTP/2 pseudo-headers that are invalid in the context of an HTTP/1 request line, causing the Varnish server to produce invalid HTTP/1 requests to the backend. This could, in turn, be used to exploit vulnerabilities in a server behind the Varnish server. Note: the 6.0.x LTS series (before 6.0.11) is affected.
