Summary
Security update for openvswitch
Severity
Important
Notes
Title of the patch: Security update for openvswitch
Description of the patch: This update for openvswitch fixes the following issues: - CVE-2017-9263: OpenFlow role status message can cause a call to abort() leading to application crash (bsc#1041470) - CVE-2017-9265: Buffer over-read while parsing message could lead to crash or maybe arbitrary code execution (bsc#1041447) - Do not restart the ovs-vswitchd and ovsdb-server services on package updates (bsc#1002734) - Do not restart the ovs-vswitchd, ovsdb-server and openvswitch services on package removals. This facilitates potential future package moves but also preserves connectivity when the package is removed (bsc#1050896)
