In FRRouting (FRR) through 9.1, it is possible for the get_edge() function in ospf_te.c in the OSPF daemon to return a NULL pointer. In cases where calling functions do not handle the returned NULL value, the OSPF daemon crashes, leading to denial of service.

An update of the frr package has been released.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.
