The problem presents itself when an affected device handles a malformed or invalid Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) packet. During processing the offending packet the affected device will reset. It should be noted that this issue only affects devices with BGP enabled; BGP is not enabled by default. It has been reported that this issue would be very difficult to exploit as it would require injecting malicious packets into communication between trusted peers. An attacker may exploit this issue to cause the affected device to reset, taking several minutes to become functional. It is possible to create a persistent denial of service condition by continually transmitting malformed packets to the affected device.
