About this tag
FRRouting (FRR) is an open-source routing suite used in routers, network appliances, and cloud networking stacks to implement protocols such as OSPF, BGP, and IS-IS. Discussions on WindowsForum.com focus on several high-severity vulnerabilities in FRR's OSPF implementation, including CVE-2025-61105, CVE-2025-61104, CVE-2025-61102, CVE-2025-61100, CVE-2025-61107, and CVE-2025-61103, all of which involve NULL-pointer dereferences that can be triggered by crafted OSPF packets, causing the ospfd daemon to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). Additionally, CVE-2023-41361 is a boundary-checking bug in BGP OPEN handling that could cause a crash or buffer overflow. Patches and mitigation strategies are discussed for each vulnerability.

    FRRouting OSPF CVE-2025-61105 Remote DoS Crash via Debug Dump

    FRRouting’s OSPF implementation contains a remotely triggerable NULL-pointer dereference in the show_vty_link_info path of ospf_ext.c that can crash the ospfd process and produce a network-impacting Denial of Service (DoS) when a specially crafted OSPF packet is processed—an issue tracked as...

    CVE-2023-41361: FRR BGP OPEN Boundary Bug Patch and Mitigation

    FRRouting users and network operators should treat CVE‑2023‑41361 as a serious, remediable threat: a boundary-checking bug in the BGP OPEN handling of FRR 9.0 allowed an attacker to send a crafted BGP OPEN whose received software version field exceeded expected bounds, triggering a crash or...

    CVE-2025-61100: FRRouting OSPF Opaque LSA Dump NULL Pointer DoS

    FRRouting has a newly documented vulnerability — tracked as CVE-2025-61100 — that allows specially crafted OSPF Link State Advertisements (LSAs) to trigger a NULL pointer dereference in the OSPF daemon (ospfd), causing a denial-of-service (DoS) condition for affected FRR installations. The fault...

    FRR OSPF CVE-2025-61107 Patch Prevents NULL Pointer Crash

    FRRouting has been flagged for a serious Denial-of-Service hole: a NULL pointer dereference in OSPF packet handling (CVE-2025-61107) that can crash the ospfd daemon when a crafted LSA Update containing an opaque LSA is processed, and the problem was patched upstream via a targeted set of checks...

    FRRouting OSPF CVE 2025 61103 Mitigating Ospfd Crash from Debug Packets

    FRRouting has a serious denial-of-service bug — tracked as CVE-2025-61103 — that allows a crafted OSPF packet to crash the ospfd process via a NULL pointer dereference in ospf_ext.c, and operators should treat any running FRR instances that have OSPF debugging enabled as high-priority for...
