TITLE

Open vSwitch Buffer error vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

In Open vSwitch (OvS) v2.7.0, there is a buffer over-read while parsing the group mod OpenFlow message sent from the controller in `lib/ofp-util.c` in the function `ofputil_pull_ofp15_group_mod`. Open vSwitch (OvS) Contains a buffer error vulnerability.Information is obtained, information is altered, and service operation is disrupted (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. Open vSwitch is prone to the following multiple security vulnerabilities: 1. Multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities 2. A denial-of-service vulnerability An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. Open vSwitch (OvS) is a multi-layer virtual switch product based on open source technology (according to the Apache2.0 license). It supports large-scale network automation, standard management interfaces and protocols, etc. through programming extensions. There is a security vulnerability in the 'ofputil_pull_ofp15_group_mod' function in lib/ofp-util.c file in OvS 2.7.0 version. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3450-1 October 11, 2017 openvswitch vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 17.04 - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in Open vSwitch. Software Description: - openvswitch: Ethernet virtual switch Details: Bhargava Shastry discovered that Open vSwitch incorrectly handled certain OFP messages. (CVE-2017-9214) It was discovered that Open vSwitch incorrectly handled certain OpenFlow role messages. (CVE-2017-9263) It was discovered that Open vSwitch incorrectly handled certain malformed packets. This issue only affected Ubuntu 17.04. (CVE-2017-9265) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 17.04: openvswitch-common 2.6.1-0ubuntu5.1 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: openvswitch-common 2.5.2-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

Summary: An update for openvswitch is now available for Fast Datapath for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Channel to provide early releases to layered products - noarch, x86_64 3. Description: Open vSwitch provides standard network bridging functions and support for the OpenFlow protocol for remote per-flow control of traffic. The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: openvswitch (2.7.2). An attacker could use this flaw to cause a remote DoS. (CVE-2017-9214) * In Open vSwitch (OvS), 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. (CVE-2017-9263) * A buffer over-read was found in the Open vSwitch (OvS) firewall implementation. This flaw can be triggered by parsing a specially crafted TCP, UDP, or IPv6 packet. A remote attack could use this flaw to cause a Denial of Service (DoS). An attacker could use this flaw to cause a Denial of Service (DoS). (CVE-2017-9265) 4.
