Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.1.2.2023.3410
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-3410-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'openvswitch' package(s) announced via the DLA-3410-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'openvswitch' package(s) announced via the DLA-3410-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
David Marchand discovered that Open vSwitch, a multilayer, software-based, Ethernet virtual switch, was vulnerable to crafted IP packets with ip proto set to 0, potentially causing a denial of service.

Triggering the vulnerability requires an attacker to send a crafted IP packet with protocol field set to 0 and the flow rules to contain set actions on other fields in the IP protocol header. The resulting flows will omit required actions, and fail to mask the IP protocol field, resulting in a large bucket which captures all IP packets.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 2.10.7+ds1-0+deb10u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your openvswitch packages.
