The stable/victoria backport has merged and the other backports all have positive votes from from core reviewers. Here's an initial draft for an impact description we'll be able to use in an advisory; please review and call out anything which needs correcting (and David, let me know if you have an employer or other affiliated organization you wish mentioned alongside your name)...
Title: Anti-spoofing bypass for Open vSwitch networks
Reporter: David Sinquin
Products: Neutron
Affects: <15.3.3, >=16.0.0 <16.3.1, >=17.0.0 <17.1.1
Description: David Sinquin reported a vulnerability in Neutron's default Open vSwitch firewall rules. By sending carefully crafted packets, anyone in control of a server instance connected to the virtual switch can impersonate the IPv6 addresses of other systems on the network, resulting in denial of service or in some cases possibly interception of traffic intended for other destinations. Only deployments using the Open vSwitch driver are affected.
