NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dpdk-doc package and not the dpdk-doc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in DPDK version 19.11 and above that allows a malicious guest to cause a segmentation fault of the vhost-user backend application running on the host, which could result in a loss of connectivity for the other guests running on that host. This is caused by a missing validity check of the descriptor address in the function virtio_dev_rx_batch_packed().
