CVE-2020-10726
Description
A vulnerability was found in DPDK versions 19.11 and above. A malicious container that has direct access to the vhost-user socket can keep sending VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD messages, causing a resource leak (file descriptors and virtual memory), which may result in a denial of service.
Statement
The versions of DPDK as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 were not affected by this flaw, as they did not include support for the inflight share memory feature, which was introduced in a later version of the package. This issue did not affect the versions of Ceph as shipped with Red Hat Ceph Storage 3 and 4, as they did not include support for DPDK.

Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
