Bhargava Shastry discovered that Open vSwitch incorrectly handled certain OFP messages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Open vSwitch to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2017-9214)

It was discovered that Open vSwitch incorrectly handled certain OpenFlow role messages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Open vSwitch to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2017-9263)

It was discovered that Open vSwitch incorrectly handled certain malformed packets. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Open vSwitch to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 17.04. (CVE-2017-9264)

It was discovered that Open vSwitch incorrectly handled group mod OpenFlow messages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Open vSwitch to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2017-9265).
