That identifier also becomes the inserted flow's identifier.\nFor updates, however, a request with a UFID may miss the UFID lookup and\nthen fall back to the flow key lookup.  That lookup can legitimately find\nan existing key-identified flow.  UFIDs are optional and the flow key is\nthe primary identifier.\n\nFor echoed replies, ovs_flow_cmd_fill_info() writes the matched flow's\nidentifier, not the request identifier used for the preallocation.  A short\nrequest UFID can therefore leave too little room for the key identifier.\nThe fill can then fail with -EMSGSIZE and hit the BUG_ON(error < 0) in the\nupdate path.\n\nOnce the update target has been resolved, reallocate the reply skb if the\nmatched flow needs a larger reply than the request identifier allowed.  Do\nthis before replacing the actions so the request can still fail cleanly if\nthe rare extra allocation fails."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/openvswitch/datapath.c"],"versions":[{"version":"74ed7ab9264c54471c7f057409d352052820d750","lessThan":"bd8ca84d48cd9a4f6fc63df26512c55e1d339927","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"74ed7ab9264c54471c7f057409d352052820d750","lessThan":"00f987f066e802793a37dd2167459e67cf2cf2ec","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"74ed7ab9264c54471c7f057409d352052820d750","lessThan":"696a0b9435fce9cf4f1e9ba7f6afa6bee96c97fc","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"74ed7ab9264c54471c7f057409d352052820d750","lessThan":"87d0c0040b5d4b61de51ae39132c4c46709f2f77","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"74ed7ab9264c54471c7f057409d352052820d750","lessThan":"69f40ccf85074981340847d650a9cbf9adabfbbe","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"74ed7ab9264c54471c7f057409d352052820d750","lessThan":"23716dd9d8d46a5908536b73dc085e62f2b5c237","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"74ed7ab9264c54471c7f057409d352052820d750","lessThan":"20751193d83be2e9735d4faee71375691c09cd13","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"74ed7ab9264c54471c7f057409d352052820d750","lessThan":"5d1c224dd914579524a183a514c12b95095d12ce","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/openvswitch/datapath.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4.0","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"4.0","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.265","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.216","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.183","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.152","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.104","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.45","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.9","lessThanOrEqual":"7.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.0","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.265"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.0","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.216"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.0","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.183"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.0","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.152"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.0","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.104"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.0","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.45"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.0","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.9"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.0","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bd8ca84d48cd9a4f6fc63df26512c55e1d339927"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/00f987f066e802793a37dd2167459e67cf2cf2ec"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/696a0b9435fce9cf4f1e9ba7f6afa6bee96c97fc"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/87d0c0040b5d4b61de51ae39132c4c46709f2f77"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/69f40ccf85074981340847d650a9cbf9adabfbbe"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/23716dd9d8d46a5908536b73dc085e62f2b5c237"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/20751193d83be2e9735d4faee71375691c09cd13"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5d1c224dd914579524a183a514c12b95095d12ce"}],"title":"net: openvswitch: reallocate update replies for mismatched IDs","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
