Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3748)

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when processing hello messages. A remote attacker can send specially crafted hello messages with the unicast flag set, the interval field set to 0, or any TLV that contains a sub-TLV with the Mandatory flag set to consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38802)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing BGP update data with a corrupted attribute 23 (Tunnel Encapsulation). A remote attacker can send specially crafted BGP update data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41358)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in bgpd/bgp_packet.c when handling NLRIs. A remote attacker can send specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41360)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in bgpd/bgp_packet.c. A remote attacker can read the initial byte of the ORF header in an ahead-of-stream situation.


5) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41909)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the bgp_nlri_parse_flowspec() function in bgpd/bgp_flowspec.c. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
