Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- A flaw was found in openstack-neutron's default Open vSwitch firewall rules. By sending carefully crafted
packets, anyone in control of a server instance connected to the virtual switch can impersonate the IPv6
addresses of other systems on the network, resulting in denial of service or in some cases possibly
interception of traffic intended for other destinations. Only deployments using the Open vSwitch driver
are affected. Source: OpenStack project. Versions before openstack-neutron 15.3.3, openstack-neutron
16.3.1 and openstack-neutron 17.1.1 are affected. (CVE-2021-20267)
