An out-of-bounds read in the ParseIP6Extended function (/bgp/bgp.go) of gobgp v4.3.0 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted BGP UPDATE message.

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 26.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8348-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that GoBGP incorrectly handled certain specially crafted BGP UPDATE messages. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause GoBGP to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2026-37461)

    Yanlei Wang discovered that GoBGP incorrectly handled certain malformed BGP UPDATE messages containing     4-byte AS attributes. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause GoBGP to crash, resulting     in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-41643)

    It was discovered that GoBGP incorrectly handled certain malformed BGP UPDATE messages containing SRv6 L3     Service attributes. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause GoBGP to crash, resulting in     a denial of service. (CVE-2026-7734)

    It was discovered that GoBGP incorrectly handled certain malformed BGP UPDATE messages containing     Accumulated IGP (AIGP) attributes. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause GoBGP to     crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-7735)

    It was discovered that GoBGP incorrectly handled certain malformed Multi- threaded Routing Toolkit (MRT)     routing information entries. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause GoBGP to crash,     resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-7736)

    It was discovered that GoBGP incorrectly handled certain malformed Multi- threaded Routing Toolkit (MRT)     headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause GoBGP to crash, resulting in a denial of     service. (CVE-2026-7737)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - An out-of-bounds read in the ParseIP6Extended function (/bgp/bgp.go) of gobgp v4.3.0 allows attackers to
    cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted BGP UPDATE message. (CVE-2026-37461)

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

  - An out-of-bounds read in the ParseIP6Extended function (/bgp/bgp.go) of gobgp v4.3.0 allows attackers to     cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted BGP UPDATE message. (CVE-2026-37461)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
