Package : openvswitch
CVE ID : CVE-2020-35498
Debian Bug : 982493
Joakim Hindersson discovered that Open vSwitch, a software-based
Ethernet virtual switch, allowed a malicious user to cause a
denial-of-service by sending a specially crafted packet.
For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.10.7+ds1-0+deb10u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your openvswitch packages.
