The lldpd developer Vincent Bernat reports :

A buffer overflow may allow arbitrary code execution only if hardening was disabled.

Malformed packets should not make lldpd crash. Ensure we can handle them by not using assert() in this part.

Several issues have been found in openvswitch, a production quality, multilayer, software-based, Ethernet virtual switch.

CVE-2020-35498

Denial of service attacks, in which crafted network packets could cause the packet lookup to ignore network header fields from layers 3 and 4. The crafted network packet is an ordinary IPv4 or IPv6 packet with Ethernet padding length above 255 bytes. This causes the packet sanity check to abort parsing header fields after layer 2.

CVE-2020-27827

Denial of service attacks using crafted LLDP packets.

CVE-2018-17206

Buffer over-read issue during BUNDLE action decoding.

CVE-2018-17204

Assertion failure due to not validating information (group type and command) in OF1.5 decoder.

CVE-2017-9214

Buffer over-read that is caused by an unsigned integer underflow.

CVE-2015-8011

Buffer overflow in the lldp_decode function in daemon/protocols/lldp.c in lldpd before 0.8.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors involving large management addresses and TLV boundaries.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.10-0+deb9u1. This version is a new upstream point release.

We recommend that you upgrade your openvswitch packages.

The remote Fedora 33 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2021-fba11d37ee advisory.

  - Buffer overflow in the lldp_decode function in daemon/protocols/lldp.c in lldpd before 0.8.0 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors     involving large management addresses and TLV boundaries. (CVE-2015-8011)

  - 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)
