Details:

Timothy Redaelli and Haresh Khandelwal discovered that Open vSwitch
incorrectly handled certain crafted Geneve packets when hardware offloading
via the netlink path is enabled. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause Open vSwitch to crash, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2023-3966)
