[ga] OpenBSD bgpd Remote Denial of Service problem

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  As an FYI, See:

09.9.19 CVE: Not Available
Platform: BSD
Title: OpenBSD bgpd Remote Denial of Service
Description: OpenBSD Border Gateway Protocol daemon (bgpd) is exposed
to a remote denial of service issue when processing long Autonomous
System (AS) paths. This issue affects the "aspath_prepend()" function
of the "usr.sbin/bgpd/rde_attr.c" source file and arises because the
application does not correctly prepend its own AS to very long AS
paths. OpenBSD versions 4.4 and 4.3 are affected.

liability depends upon whether B is less than L multiplied by
P: i.e., whether B is less than PL."
