An issue was discovered in Open vSwitch (OvS) 2.7.x through 2.7.6. The decodebundle function inside lib/ofp-actions.c is affected by a buffer over-read issue during BUNDLE action decoding.

An issue was discovered in Open vSwitch (OvS) 2.7.x through 2.7.6, affecting ofprotoruleinsert in ofproto/ofproto.c. During bundle commit, flows that are added in a bundle are applied to ofproto in order. If a flow cannot be added (e.g., the flow action is a go-to for a group id that does not exist), OvS tries to revert back all previous flows that were successfully applied from the same bundle. This is possible since OvS maintains list of old flows that were replaced by flows from the bundle. While reinserting old flows, OvS has an assertion failure due to a check on rule state != RULEINITIALIZED. This would work for new flows, but for an old flow the rule state is RULEREMOVED. The assertion failure causes an OvS crash.

An issue was discovered in Open vSwitch (OvS) 2.7.x through 2.7.6, affecting parsegrouppropntrselectionmethod in lib/ofp-util.c. When decoding a group mod, it validates the group type and command after the whole group mod has been decoded. The OF1.5 decoder, however, tries to use the type and command earlier, when it might still be invalid. This causes an assertion failure (via OVSNOTREACHED). ovs-vswitchd does not enable support for OpenFlow 1.5 by default.
