Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the Forwarding Information Base (FIB) code due to a limitation in the way the FIB is internally representing recursive routes. A remote attacker can inject routes into the routing protocol that have a specific recursive pattern and cause the service to crash.
