AI-suggested
A fix is available and should be applied by updating FRRouting to the patched versions: 8.1-1ubuntu1.16, 8.4.4-1.1ubuntu6.7, 10.4.1-3ubuntu1.4, or 10.5.1-1ubuntu4.1 depending on your Ubuntu release. The vendor advisory (Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8376-1) recommends applying standard system updates to obtain these fixes. No additional mitigation is required beyond applying the official patches.
Description
FRRouting (FRR) versions before 10.5.3 contain an integer overflow vulnerability in the OSPF Traffic Engineering and Segment Routing TLV parser functions. This flaw arises from a uint16_t accumulator truncating uint32_t values, causing unchecked pointer advancement and out-of-bounds memory reads. An attacker with an established OSPF adjacency can send crafted LS Update packets with malicious Type 10 or Type 11 Opaque LSAs to trigger crashes, resulting in denial of service across affected routers in the OSPF area or autonomous system. Fixes are available in FRR versions 8.1-1ubuntu1.16, 8.4.4-1.1ubuntu6.7, 10.4.1-3ubuntu1.4, and 10.5.1-1ubuntu4.1.
