Open vSwitch 'lib/ofp-util.c' Remote Integer Underflow Vulnerability

Open vSwitch is prone to a remote integer-underflow vulnerability because they fail to sufficiently validate an integer value.

Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploits may result in denial-of-service conditions.

Open vSwitch 2.7.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
