CVE-2022-40302
Description
A vulnerability was found in FRRouting. The issue occurs in bgpd in FRRouting (FRR). By crafting a BGP OPEN message with an option of type 0xff (Extended Length from RFC 9072), attackers may cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon restart or out-of-bounds read). This flaw is possible due to inconsistent boundary checks that do not account for reading 3 bytes (instead of 2) in this 0xff case.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
