NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dpdk-devel package and not the dpdk-devel package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in dpdk in versions before 18.11.10 and before 19.11.5. A complete lack of validation of attacker-controlled parameters can lead to a buffer over read. The results of the over read are then written back to the guest virtual machine memory. This vulnerability can be used by an attacker in a virtual machine to read significant amounts of host memory. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and system availability.
