attacker could use this issue to cause a remote denial of service attack.

* While parsing an OpenFlow role status message Open vSwitch (OvS), a call
to the abort() function for undefined role status reasons in the function
'ofp_print_role_status_message' in 'lib/ofp-print.c' could be misused for a
remote denial of service attack by a malicious switch. (CVE-2017-9263)

* A buffer over-read issue was found in Open vSwitch (OvS) which emerged
while parsing the GroupMod OpenFlow messages sent from the controller. The
issue could enable an attacker to cause a denial of service type of attack.
