Doc Text:	A vulnerability was found in FRRouting. The issue occurs in bgpd in FRRouting (FRR). By crafting a BGP OPEN message with an option of type 0xff (Extended Length from RFC 9072), attackers may cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon restart or out-of-bounds read). This flaw is possible due to inconsistent boundary checks that do not account for reading 3 bytes (instead of 2) in this 0xff case.	Story Points:	---

Description Sandipan Roy 2023-05-08 04:12:08 UTC

An issue was discovered in bgpd in FRRouting (FRR) through 8.4. By crafting a BGP OPEN message with an option of type 0xff (Extended Length from RFC 9072), attackers may cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon restart, or out-of-bounds read). This is possible because of inconsistent boundary checks that do not account for reading 3 bytes (instead of 2) in this 0xff case.
