frr vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 23.04
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Summary:

FRR could be made to close sessions if it received speacially
crafted network traffic.

Software Description:
- frr: FRRouting suite of internet protocols

Details:

Ben Cartwright-Cox discovered that FRR did not handle RFC 7606
attributes properly. A remote attacker could possibly use this to
cause denial of service.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 23.04:
   frr                             8.4.2-1ubuntu1.3

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
   frr                             8.1-1ubuntu1.5

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
