    Package        : openvswitch     CVE ID         : CVE-2023-3966 CVE-2023-5366     Debian Bug     : 1063492

    Two vulnerabilities were discovered in Open vSwitch, a software-based     Ethernet virtual switch, which could result in a bypass of OpenFlow     rules or denial of service.

    For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed     in version 2.15.0+ds1-2+deb11u5. This update also adresses a memory leak     tracked as CVE-2024-22563.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 3.1.0-2+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your openvswitch packages.
