USN-4550-1: DPDK vulnerabilities
28 September 2020
Several security issues were fixed in DPDK.
Releases
o Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Packages
o dpdk - set of libraries for fast packet processing
Details
Ryan Hall discovered that DPDK incorrectly handled vhost crypto. An
attacker inside a guest could use these issues to perform multiple attacks,
including denial of service attacks, obtaining sensitive information from
the host, and possibly executing arbitrary code on the host.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package
versions:

o dpdk - 19.11.3-0ubuntu0.2
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
