Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-0524-01
Posted Mar 30, 2016
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-0524-01 - Open vSwitch provides standard network bridging functions and support for the OpenFlow protocol for remote per-flow control of traffic. Security Fix: A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the OVS processing of MPLS labels. A remote attacker able to deliver a frame containing a malicious MPLS label that would be processed by OVS could trigger the flaw and use the resulting memory corruption to cause a denial of service or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
