How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 openvswitch2.15-devel.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openvswitch2.15-devel package and not the openvswitch2.15-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A missing upper-bound check in the udpif_set_threads() function of Open vSwitch v3.6.90 allows an attacker with OVSDB write access to request an excessive number of handler or revalidation threads. This can cause a denial of service (DoS) via resource exhaustion.
