DPDK 19.11.13 contains fixes for the CVEs listed below:
CVE-2022-28199 [1]
CVE-2022-2132 [2]
A bug was introduced in DPDK 19.11.12 by the commit 1e68fe334ff0 ("vhost: fix
unsafe vring addresses modifications").
This bug can cause a deadlock when vIOMMU is enabled and NUMA reallocation of
the virtqueues happen.
A fix [3] has been posted and is due to be included in the DPDK 19.11.14
release.
If a user wishes to avoid the issue then it is recommended to use DPDK 19.11.11
until the release of DPDK 19.11.14.
It should be noted that DPDK 19.11.11 does not benefit from the numerous bug
and CVE fixes addressed since its release.
If a user wishes to benefit from these fixes it is recommended to use DPDK
19.11.13.
