    Description:

    This update for openvswitch fixes the following issues:


    - CVE-2017-9263: OpenFlow role status message can cause a call to abort()
    leading to application crash (bsc#1041470)

    - CVE-2017-9265: Buffer over-read while parsing message could lead to
    crash or maybe arbitrary code execution (bsc#1041447)

    - Do not restart the ovs-vswitchd and ovsdb-server services
