"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2017:2553 advisory.

    Open vSwitch provides standard network bridging functions and support for the OpenFlow protocol for remote
    per-flow control of traffic.

    Security Fix(es):

    * An unsigned int wrap around leading to a buffer over-read was found when parsing
    OFPT_QUEUE_GET_CONFIG_REPLY messages in Open vSwitch (OvS). An attacker could use this flaw to cause a
    remote DoS. (CVE-2017-9214)

    * In Open vSwitch (OvS), while parsing an OpenFlow role status message there is a call to the abort()
    function for undefined role status reasons in the function `ofp_print_role_status_message` in `lib/ofp-
    print.c` that may be leveraged toward a remote DoS attack by a malicious switch. (CVE-2017-9263)

    * A buffer over-read flaw was found in Open vSwitch (OvS) while parsing the group mod OpenFlow messages
    sent from the controller. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
    (CVE-2017-9265)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
