CVE-2022-40302

frr: denial of service by crafting a BGP OPEN message with an option of type 0xff

Published May 3, 2023 CVSS 3.1 · 6.5 Medium EPSS 2.0% KEV · Not listed
Description
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.
