    Published: 1 Sept 2022Last Modified: 14 Sept 2026
    Upstream:
    CVE-2022-2639
    Aliases:
    USN-5650-1

    Summary:

    Details: An integer coercion error was found in the openvswitch kernel module. Given a sufficiently large number of actions, while copying and reserving memory for a new action of a new flow, the reserve_sfa_size() function does not return -EMSGSIZE as expected, potentially leading to an out-of-bounds write access. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
