CVE-2016-10377 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. In Open vSwitch (OvS) 2.5.0, a malformed IP packet can cause the switch to read past the end of the packet buffer due to an unsigned integer underflow in `lib/flow.c` in the function `miniflow_extract`, permitting remote bypass of the access control list enforced by the switch.. EPSS estimates a 0.94% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
