lldpd-1.0.18-4.el9

LLDP is an industry standard protocol designed to supplant proprietary Link-Layer protocols such as EDP or CDP. The goal of LLDP is to provide an inter-vendor compatible mechanism to deliver Link-Layer notifications to adjacent network devices.

Security Fix(es):

* lldp/openvswitch: denial of service via externally triggered memory leak (CVE-2020-27827)
* lldpd: out-of-bounds read when decoding SONMP packets (CVE-2021-43612)
* lldpd: CDP PDU Packet cdp.c out-of-bounds read (CVE-2023-41910)

CVE-2020-27827
A flaw was found in multiple versions of OpenvSwitch. Specially crafted LLDP packets can cause memory to be lost when allocating data to handle specific optional TLVs, potentially causing a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
CVE-2021-43612
In lldpd before 1.0.13, when decoding SONMP packets in the sonmp_decode function, it's possible to trigger an out-of-bounds heap read via short SONMP packets.
CVE-2023-41910
An issue was discovered in lldpd before 1.0.17. By crafting a CDP PDU packet with specific CDP_TLV_ADDRESSES TLVs, a malicious actor can remotely force the lldpd daemon to perform an out-of-bounds read on heap memory. This occurs in cdp_decode in daemon/protocols/cdp.c.
