An integer underflow in Organization Specific TLV was found in various versions of OpenvSwitch.

An update of the openvswitch package has been released.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - dpdk: librte_vhost Integer truncation in vhost_user_check_and_alloc_queue_pair() (CVE-2020-10723)

  - openvswitch: Integer Underflow in Organization Specific TLV (CVE-2022-4338)

  - The TSS (Tuple Space Search) algorithm in Open vSwitch 2.x through 2.17.2 and 3.0.0 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (delays of legitimate traffic) via crafted packet data that     requires excessive evaluation time within the packet classification algorithm for the MegaFlow cache, aka     a Tuple Space Explosion (TSE) attack. (CVE-2019-25076)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - dpdk: librte_vhost Integer truncation in vhost_user_check_and_alloc_queue_pair() (CVE-2020-10723)

  - openvswitch: Integer Underflow in Organization Specific TLV (CVE-2022-4338)

  - A vulnerability was found in DPDK versions 18.05 and above. A missing check for an integer overflow in     vhost_user_set_log_base() could result in a smaller memory map than requested, possibly allowing memory     corruption. (CVE-2020-10722)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202311-16 (Open vSwitch: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - A flaw was found in multiple versions of OpenvSwitch. Specially crafted LLDP packets can cause memory to     be lost when allocating data to handle specific optional TLVs, potentially causing a denial of service.
    The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-27827)

  - A vulnerability was found in openvswitch. A limitation in the implementation of userspace packet parsing     can allow a malicious user to send a specially crafted packet causing the resulting megaflow in the kernel     to be too wide, potentially causing a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     system availability. (CVE-2020-35498)

  - A memory leak was found in Open vSwitch (OVS) during userspace IP fragmentation processing. An attacker     could use this flaw to potentially exhaust available memory by keeping sending packet fragments.
    (CVE-2021-3905)

  - Open vSwitch (aka openvswitch) 2.11.0 through 2.15.0 has a use-after-free in decode_NXAST_RAW_ENCAP     (called from ofpact_decode and ofpacts_decode) during the decoding of a RAW_ENCAP action. (CVE-2021-36980)

  - An out-of-bounds read in Organization Specific TLV was found in various versions of OpenvSwitch.
    (CVE-2022-4337)

  - An integer underflow in Organization Specific TLV was found in various versions of OpenvSwitch.
    (CVE-2022-4338)

  - 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. (CVE-2023-1668)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

  - In ovs versions v0.90.0 through v2.5.0 are vulnerable to heap buffer over-read in flow.c. An unsafe     comparison of minimasks function could lead access to an unmapped region of memory.
