CVE-2024-2182 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Red Hat Fast Datapath for RHEL 10, published on 12 Mar 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim. ### Official description A flaw was found in the Open Virtual Network (OVN). In OVN clusters where BFD is used between hypervisors for high availability, an attacker can inject specially crafted BFD packets from inside unprivileged workloads, including virtual machines or containers, that can trigger a denial of service.

What it is: CVE-2024-2182 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Red Hat Fast Datapath for RHEL 10, published on 12 Mar 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim. Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-2182 in the wild and no public exploit code. Affected product: Red Hat Fast Datapath for RHEL 10. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page. Task: 1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies. 2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
