About this tag
FRRouting (FRR) is an open-source routing suite used on Linux and BSD routers, network appliances, and cloud/edge environments. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover critical security vulnerabilities in FRR, including CVE-2023-46752, a BGP MP_REACH_NLRI bug that crashes the bgpd daemon via malformed UPDATE attributes, and CVE-2025-61099 and CVE-2025-61101, which involve NULL pointer dereferences in OSPF that can crash ospfd when processing crafted packets. Patches and mitigations are available for these issues, which can cause denial of service and disrupt routing. The tag focuses on FRR security advisories, bug fixes, and operational guidance for maintaining stable routing infrastructure.
