FKIE_CVE-2026-34956

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-05-05 16:16 - Updated: 2026-09-01 13:18
Summary
A flaw was found in Open vSwitch. When Open vSwitch is configured with a conntrack flow using FTP helpers over the userspace datapath, a remote attacker can send a specially crafted FTP stream with an EPASV command exceeding 255 characters. This heap access error can lead to a crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.
