Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The neutron package (OpenStack networking) is vulnerable in versions before 15.3.3, from 16.0.0 before 16.3.1, and from 17.0.0 before 17.1.1, specifically its default Open vSwitch firewall rules. An attacker who controls a server instance connected to the virtual switch can send crafted packets to impersonate IPv6 addresses of other systems, which may cause denial of service or, in some cases, interception of traffic meant for other destinations. Only deployments using the Open vSwitch driver are affected. Upgrade to 15.3.3, 16.3.1, or 17.1.1 depending on your release line.
