Remediation

Vendor Workaround

router bgp <asn> neighbor default received attribute discard 22 The above configuration applies the mitigation globally. The attribute can be re-enabled on specific peers if it is required within the customer application. For example: router bgp <asn> no neighbor X.X.X.X received attribute discard 22 Alternatively, a recommended mitigation to reduce exposure to this vulnerability is to configure BGP peer authentication using TCP-AO in order to ensure that only authorized peers can establish a BGP session.
