CVE-2024-31172Network attack vector

Service interruption via table-statistics reply parsing

Published Sep 18, 2024 · Updated Sep 18, 2024

Out-of-bounds read in libfluid 0.1.0 allows remote attackers to interrupt an OpenFlow controller via a crafted table-statistics reply. The flaw resides in fluid_msg::of10::StatsReplyTable::unpack, but the CNA and vendor advisory do not disclose the unchecked field or boundary operation. Exploitation requires the libfluid_msg module to be integrated into a network-reachable controller that parses attacker-supplied OpenFlow 1.0 table replies, and the reported consequence is denial of service.
