Summary

In lib/conntrack.c in the firewall implementation in Open vSwitch (OvS) 2.6.1, there is a buffer over-read while parsing malformed TCP, UDP, and IPv6 packets in the functions `extract_l3_ipv6`, `extract_l4_tcp`, and `extract_l4_udp` that can be triggered remotely.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Overread Buffers
    An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.

    descriptionAn 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. 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). (BZ#1472854) Security Fix(es) : * An unsigned int wrap around leading to a buffer over-read was found when parsing OFPT_QUEUE_GET_CONFIG_REPLY messages in Open vSwitch (OvS). 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). (CVE-2017-9264) * A buffer over-read flaw was found in Open vSwitch (OvS) while parsing the group mod OpenFlow messages sent from the controller. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a Denial of Service (DoS). (CVE-2017-9265)

    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.
    
    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). (BZ#1472854)
    
    Security Fix(es) :
    
    * An unsigned int wrap around leading to a buffer over-read was found
    when parsing OFPT_QUEUE_GET_CONFIG_REPLY messages in Open vSwitch
    (OvS). 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). (CVE-2017-9264)
    
    * A buffer over-read flaw was found in Open vSwitch (OvS) while
    parsing the group mod OpenFlow messages sent from the controller. An
    attacker could use this flaw to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
