gobgp — security advisory
A security flaw has been discovered in osrg GoBGP up to 4.3.0. This affects the function DecodeFromBytes of the file pkg/packet/bgp/bgp.go of the component BGP OPEN Message Handler. Performing a manipulation of the argument domainNameLen results in improper access controls. The attack may be initiated remotely. A high degree of complexity is needed for the attack. The exploitability is reported as difficult. The patch is named 2b09db390a3d455808363c53e409afe6b1b86d2d. It is suggested to install a patch to address this issue.
