An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has one
   errata is now available.
Description:
This update for varnish fixes the following issues:
varnish was updated to release 7.1.0 [boo#1195188] [CVE-2022-23959]
* VCL: It is now possible to assign a BLOB value to a BODY variable, in
     addition to STRING as before.
   * VMOD: New STRING strftime(TIME time, STRING format) function for UTC
     formatting.
Update to release 6.6.1
* CVE-2021-36740: Fix an HTTP/2.0 request smuggling vulnerability.
     [boo#1188470]
Update to release 6.6.0:
* The ban_cutoff parameter now refers to the overall length of the ban
     list, including completed bans, where before only non-completed
     (���active���) bans were counted towards ban_cutoff.
   * Body bytes accounting has been fixed to always represent the number of
     body bytes moved on the wire, exclusive of protocol-specific overhead
     like HTTP/1 chunked encoding or HTTP/2 framing.
   * The connection close reason has been fixed to properly report
     SC_RESP_CLOSE where previously only SC_REQ_CLOSE was reported.
   * Unless the new validate_headers feature is disabled, all newly set
     headers are now validated to contain only characters allowed by RFC7230.
   * The filter_re, keep_re and get_re functions from the bundled cookie vmod
     have been changed to take the VCL_REGEX type. This implies that their
     regular expression arguments now need to be literal, not e.g. string.
   * The interface for private pointers in VMODs has been changed, the VRT
     backend interface has been changed, many filter (VDP/VFP) related
     signatures have been changed, and the stevedore API has been changed.
     (Details thereto, see online changelog.)
Update to release 6.5.1
* Bump the VRT_MAJOR_VERSION number defined in the vrt.h
Update to release 6.5.0
* `PRIV_TOP` is now thread-safe to support parallel ESI implementations.
   * varnishstat's JSON output format (-j option) has been changed.
   * Behavior for 304-type responses was changed not to update the
     Content-Encoding response header of the stored object.
- Update Git-Web repository link
Update to release 6.4.0
* The MAIN.sess_drop counter is gone.
   * backend "none" was added for "no backend".
   * The hash algorithm of the hash director was changed, so backend
     selection will change once only when upgrading.
   * It is now possible for VMOD authors to customize the connection pooling
     of a dynamic backend.
   * For more, see changes.rst.
Update to release 6.3.2
* Fix a denial of service vulnerability when using the proxy protocol
     version 2.
Update to release 6.3.0
* The Host: header is folded to lower-case in the builtin_vcl.
   * Improved performance of shared memory statistics counters.
   * Synthetic objects created from vcl_backend_error {} now replace existing
     stale objects as ordinary backend fetches would (for details see
     changes.rst)
