Summary
openvswitch vulnerabilities
Details
It was discovered that Open vSwitch incorrectly decoded certain packets. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Open vSwitch to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2018-17204)
It was discovered that Open vSwitch incorrectly handled processing certain flows. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Open vSwitch to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-17205)
It was discovered that Open vSwitch incorrectly handled BUNDLE action decoding. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Open vSwitch to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2018-17206)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
