Alpine: multiple openvswitch packages, py3-openvswitch: security update to 2.12.1-r0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 406186

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- A flaw was found in all dpdk version 17.x.x before 17.11.8, 16.x.x before 16.11.10, 18.x.x before 18.11.4
and 19.x.x before 19.08.1 where a malicious master, or a container with access to vhost_user socket, can
send specially crafted VRING_SET_NUM messages, resulting in a memory leak including file descriptors. This
flaw could lead to a denial of service condition. (CVE-2019-14818)

- A vulnerability was found in DPDK versions 18.05 and above. A missing check for an integer overflow in
vhost_user_set_log_base() could result in a smaller memory map than requested, possibly allowing memory
corruption. (CVE-2020-10722)

- A memory corruption issue was found in DPDK versions 17.05 and above. This flaw is caused by an integer
truncation on the index of a payload. Under certain circumstances, the index (a UInt) is copied and
truncated into a uint16, which can lead to out of bound indexing and possible memory corruption.
(CVE-2020-10723)

- A vulnerability was found in DPDK versions 18.11 and above. The vhost-crypto library code is missing
validations for user-supplied values, potentially allowing an information leak through an out-of-bounds
memory read. (CVE-2020-10724)
