Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) update message that contains crafted Ethernet VPN (EVPN) attributes. A remote attacker can send specially crafted Mcast Join in RR/ASBR/Retain Route target message, wait for a user on the device to display the EVPN operational routes’ status and cause the BGP process to restart unexpectedly, resulting in a DoS condition.
