Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Open vSwitch version 2.5.0
Description
A malformed IP packet can cause the switch to read past the end of the packet buffer due to an unsigned integer underflow in the function
miniflow extract in lib/flow.c, permitting remote bypass of the access control list enforced by the switch.Recommendations
For Open vSwitch version 2.5.0, consider disabling the
miniflow extract function in lib/flow.c as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the switch to minimize the risk of exploitation. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
