HighMetricsAV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
dpdk versions prior to 18.11.10
dpdk versions prior to 19.11.5
Description
A flaw in dpdk allows an attacker to read significant amounts of host memory due to a lack of validation of attacker-controlled parameters, leading to a buffer over read. The results of the over read are then written back to the guest virtual machine memory, posing a threat to data confidentiality and system availability.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 18.11.10, update to version 18.11.10 or later.
For versions prior to 19.11.5, update to version 19.11.5 or later.
