============================================================= OSSA-2021-001: Anti-spoofing bypass for Open vSwitch networks =============================================================
:Date: July 12, 2021 :CVE: CVE-2021-20267
Affects ~~~~~~~ - Neutron: <16.3.3, >=17.0.0 <17.1.3, =18.0.0
Description ~~~~~~~~~~~ David Sinquin with Gandi.net reported a vulnerability in 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.
