CVSSv3.1: 5.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2132

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the copy_desc_to_mbuf() function when processing Vhost header. A remote guest can send a packet with the Vhost header crossing more than two descriptors and force application to allocate all available mbufs, causing a denial of service condition for the other guest running on the hypervisor.

Mitigation

Update the affected package dpdk to the latest version.
