  - The TSS (Tuple Space Search) algorithm in Open vSwitch 2.x through 2.17.2 and 3.0.0 allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (delays of legitimate traffic) via crafted packet data that
    requires excessive evaluation time within the packet classification algorithm for the MegaFlow cache, aka
    a Tuple Space Explosion (TSE) attack. (CVE-2019-25076)
