Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33797)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the BGP session handling logic when processing a specific genuine BGP packet in an already established BGP session. A remote attacker can send a specific genuine BGP packet to cause a denial of service.

Repeated packet transmission can sustain the denial of service. Both eBGP and iBGP are affected, and the issue applies to both IPv4 and IPv6.
