Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-2553-01
Posted Aug 30, 2017
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-2553-01 - Open vSwitch provides standard network bridging functions and support for the OpenFlow protocol for remote per-flow control of traffic. Security Fix: An unsigned int wrap around leading to a buffer over-read was found when parsing OFPT_QUEUE_GET_CONFIG_REPLY messages in Open vSwitch. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a remote DoS. In Open vSwitch, while parsing an OpenFlow role status message there is a call to the abort() function for undefined role status reasons in the function `ofp_print_role_status_message` in `lib/ofp-print.c` that may be leveraged toward a remote DoS attack by a malicious switch.
