Descriptions

In Open vSwitch (OvS) 2.7.0, 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`.

En Open vSwitch (OvS) versión 2.7.0, mientras analiza un mensaje OFPT_QUEUE_GET_CONFIG_REPLY tipo OFP versión 1.0, se presenta una lectura excesiva búfer causada por un desbordamiento de enteros sin signo en la función “ofputil_pull_queue_get_config_reply10” en la biblioteca “lib/ofp-util.c”.

An unsigned integer wrap around that led to a buffer over-read was found when parsing OFPT_QUEUE_GET_CONFIG_REPLY messages in Open vSwitch (OvS). An attacker could use this issue to cause a remote denial of service attack.
