{"id":"SUSE-SU-2018:0505-1","summary":"Security update for openvswitch","details":"This update for openvswitch fixes the following issues:\n\n* CVE-2017-9263: While parsing an OpenFlow role status message, there is a call to the abort() functio  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. (bsc#1041470)\n* CVE-2017-9265: 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`.(bsc#1041447)\n* CVE-2017-9214: While parsing an OFPT_QUEUE_GET_CONFIG_REPLY type OFP 1.0 message, there is a buffer over-read that is caused by an unsigned integer underflow in the function `ofputil_pull_queue_get_config_reply10` in `lib/ofp-util.c`. (bsc#1040543)\n* CVE-2017-14970: In lib/ofp-util.c, there are multiple memory leaks while parsing malformed OpenFlow group mod messages.(bsc#1061310)\n\n* Do not stop the systemd service on package removals as this can\n  break networking. Moreover, this allows us to easily update to\n  more recent openvswitch releases without connectivity problems (bsc#1050896)\n\n","modified":"2026-03-11T06:42:18.521464Z","published":"2018-02-21T08:04:26Z","related":["CVE-2017-14970","CVE-2017-9214","CVE-2017-9263","CVE-2017-9265"],"upstream":["CVE-2017-14970","CVE-2017-9214","CVE-2017-9263","CVE-2017-9265"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.suse.com/support/update/announcement/2018/suse-su-20180505-1/"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/1040543"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/1041447"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/1041470"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/1050896"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/1061310"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2017-14970"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2017-9214"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2017-9263"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2017-9265"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openvswitch","ecosystem":"SUSE:OpenStack Cloud 6","purl":"pkg:rpm/suse/openvswitch&distro=SUSE%20OpenStack%20Cloud%206"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.5.1-6.4.7"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"openvswitch-kmp-default":"2.5.1_k3.12.74_60.64.69-6.4.7","openvswitch-kmp-xen":"2.5.1_k3.12.74_60.64.69-6.4.7","openvswitch-switch":"2.5.1-6.4.7","openvswitch":"2.5.1-6.4.7"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/security/osv/SUSE-SU-2018:0505-1.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
