Technical details

An integer overflow or wraparound in the routing daemon (rpd) component can be triggered by an authenticated BGP peer sending crafted BGP route updates when the extended-nexthop-tunnel feature is enabled. The vulnerability causes a denial of service by crashing the routing daemon. An attacker needs network access as an authenticated BGP peer.
