How to fix?

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read via the checksum offload feature which allows an attacker to crash the hypervisor's vSwitch by forging Virtio descriptors, by sending a packet with a Tx checksum offload request and an invalid csum_start offset.

Note: This is only exploitable if the Vhost-based application registers devices with the RTE_VHOST_USER_NET_COMPLIANT_OL_FLAGS flag.
