Vulnerability discussion

Accepting route advertisements belonging to the local AS can result in traffic looping or being black holed, or at a minimum using a non-optimized path.

Check content

Review the router configuration to verify that it will reject routes belonging to the local AS. The prefix filter must be referenced inbound on the appropriate BGP neighbor statements. If the router is not configured to reject inbound route advertisements belonging to the local AS, this is a finding.

Fix text

Ensure all eBGP routers are configured to reject inbound route advertisements for any prefixes belonging to the local AS.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
