CVE-2019-25076 (https://sites.google.com/view/tuple-space-explosion):

The TSS (Tuple Space Search) algorithm in Open vSwitch 2.x through 2.17.2 and 3.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (delays of legitimate traffic) via crafted packet data that requires excessive evaluation time within the packet classification algorithm for the MegaFlow cache, aka a Tuple Space Explosion (TSE) attack.

Fixed version isn't apparent to me

According to the vulnerability text, this only affects up to 2.17.2; and the oldest in the tree is now 2.17.8

The vulnerable versions were in the tree earlier, so we still need to decide on issuing a GLSA for it.
