Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in Open Networking Foundation (ONF) libfluid (libfluid_msg module). This vulnerability is associated with program routine fluid_msg::of13::MultipartReplyTable::unpack. This issue affects libfluid: 0.1.0.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the fluid_msg::of13::MultipartReplyTable::unpack routine in libfluid 0.1.0. This function, responsible for parsing OpenFlow 1.3 multipart reply table messages, reads memory beyond allocated buffer boundaries without proper validation, potentially allowing an attacker to extract sensitive information from process memory by sending specially crafted OpenFlow messages.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of libfluid if available; otherwise, implement proper bounds checking in the MultipartReplyTable::unpack routine to validate message length fields against buffer size before reading, and add input validation for all length fields in the OpenFlow message parsing code.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify libfluid version
    Check the installed version of libfluid msg library (e.g., check package manifest, dependency file, or library binary version)
    Affected if Version is 0.1.0 exactly
  2. Confirm OpenFlow 1.3 usage
    Determine whether your system or application is configured to use OpenFlow 1.3 protocol (check controller/switch configuration files or runtime settings)
    Affected if OpenFlow 1.3 is enabled and the system processes OpenFlow messages
  3. Verify MultipartReplyTable parsing is active
    Check if your environment processes MultipartReplyTable messages (monitor network traffic or application logs for OFPT_MULTIPART_REPLY with OFPMP_TABLE type)
    Affected if MultipartReplyTable messages are being received and parsed by the libfluid library
  4. Inspect memory access patterns
    If you have debugging or logging capabilities, examine whether the MultipartReplyTable::unpack routine attempts to read beyond buffer lengths when processing malformed or large table statistics
    Affected if The unpack function is called with messages where length fields exceed actual buffer sizes

You are affected if libfluid msg version 0.1.0 is installed and your environment processes OpenFlow 1.3 MultipartReplyTable messages, as the vulnerable unpack routine will read beyond buffer boundaries when parsing these messages.
