CVSS 3.1
7.7 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2020-10725
High (7.7). EPSS 2.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
A flaw was found in DPDK version 19.11 and above that allows a malicious guest to cause a segmentation fault of the vhost-user backend application running on the host, which could result in a loss of connectivity for the other guests running on that host. This is caused by a missing validity check of the descriptor address in the function `virtio_dev_rx_batch_packed()`.
