Comment 8 Duraisankar P 2024-03-11 08:48:26 UTC

Hello, 

The patch is not available to the below distributions since they are < 2.17.x where the fix is available, 

- SUSE:SLE-15-SP2:Update/openvswitch
- SUSE:SLE-15-SP3:Update/openvswitch
- SUSE:SLE-15-SP4:Update/openvswitch

Recreating the patch on older source code may trigger regressions as some code is not available in the older versions. 

It is better that we upgrade the OVS version in this distributions to mitigate the vulnerability.

Hi, thanks for checking. The 2.17 patch seems to apply quite well to 2.13 and 2.14. Can you double check please?
