If you cannot patch yet, network administrators should consider restricting OSPF adjacency formation to trusted devices and monitor for anomalous LS Update packets with Type 10 or Type 11 Opaque LSAs. No official remediation or temporary fix has been published at this time.
Description
FRRouting before 10.5.3 contains an integer overflow vulnerability in seven OSPF Traffic Engineering and Segment Routing TLV parser functions where a uint16_t accumulator variable truncates uint32_t values returned by the TLV_SIZE() macro, causing the loop termination condition to fail while pointer advancement continues unchecked. Attackers with an established OSPF adjacency can send a crafted LS Update packet with a malicious Type 10 or Type 11 Opaque LSA to trigger out-of-bounds memory reads and crash all affected routers in the OSPF area or autonomous system.
