CVE-2026-49837
Last modified
CVE-2026-49837 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.9/10 on the CVSS scale. GoBGP is an open source Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) implementation in the Go Programming Language. Versions prior to 4.6.0 contain a BGP OPEN capability parsing issue where several concrete capability decoders may parse data from the full remaining capability buffer instead of the slice bounded by the declared capability length, `CapLen`. EPSS estimates a 0.26% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
GoBGP is an open source Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) implementation in the Go Programming Language. Versions prior to 4.6.0 contain a BGP OPEN capability parsing issue where several concrete capability decoders may parse data from the full remaining capability buffer instead of the slice bounded by the declared capability length, `CapLen`. A malformed BGP OPEN message can cause bytes from a following capability to be interpreted as part of the current capability. The most security-relevant case is the 4-octet AS capability, where a capability with `CapLen == 0` may cause the parser to read bytes from the following capability as the 4-octet AS value. This parsed value may later affect peer AS validation during BGP session establishment. Version 4.6.0 patches the issue.
