Until a fix is available, monitoring for malformed MP/GR capability messages and restricting untrusted network access to FRRouting instances may help reduce risk.
Description
FRRouting (FRR) versions through 9.1 contain a vulnerability where receiving a malformed MP/GR dynamic capability can cause an infinite loop due to a pointer not advancing properly. This leads to a denial of service condition by exhausting resources. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.5, indicating a medium severity impact focused on availability. No patch or fixed version information is provided in the available data.
