Background

Open vSwitch is a production quality multilayer virtual switch.

Description

A buffer overflow was discovered in lib/flow.c in ovs-vswitchd.

Impact

A remote attacker, using a specially crafted MPLS packet, could execute arbitrary code.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Open vSwitch users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync
 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/openvswitch-2.5.0"
