A vulnerability was found in GoBGP 4.3.0 in the AIGP attribute parser. It has been classified as improper input validation. The issue is located in pkg/packet/bgp/bgp.go in the function PathAttributeAigp.DecodeFromBytes().
When a TLV's declared length exceeds the remaining buffer, the parser uses break to silently stop processing instead of returning an explicit error. In the AIGP_TLV_IGP_METRIC branch, a too-short TLV is also silently ignored in the same way.
This behavior may cause malformed TLVs and subsequent TLVs to be silently discarded, while only a generic length error is reported later. A crafted BGP UPDATE containing an AIGP attribute may exploit this logic to manipulate route metric handling by causing important metric TLVs to be dropped.
Affected file: pkg/packet/bgp/bgp.go
Affected function: PathAttributeAigp.DecodeFromBytes()
Impact: Route metric manipulation via silent data truncation. |
