LIN1018-10551 : Security Advisory - openvswitch - CVE-2023-1668

Created: Apr 9, 2023 Updated: Nov 2, 2023

Resolved Date: Nov 2, 2023

Found In Version: 10.18.44.1

Severity: Standard

Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 18

Component/s: Userspace

Description

A flaw was found in openvswitch (OVS). When processing an IP packet with protocol 0, OVS will install the datapath flow without the action modifying the IP header. This issue results (for both kernel and userspace datapath) in installing a datapath flow matching all IP protocols (nw_proto is wildcarded) for this flow, but with an incorrect action, possibly causing incorrect handling of other IP packets with a != 0 IP protocol that matches this dp flow.
