- GoBGP is an open source Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) implementation in the Go Programming Language. In
version 4.3.0, a remote Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in GoBGP due to a nil pointer
dereference. When a malformed BGP UPDATE message contains an unrecognized Path Attribute marked as "Well-
