CVE-2024-34088

A flaw was found in FRRouting (FRR). Some functions do not check the return value of the get_edge function in the ospfd/ospf_te.c file, allowing a NULL pointer dereference, causing a crash in the OSPF daemon, resulting in a denial of service.

The get_edge function can return a NULL pointer when processing specially crafted link IDs or advertised router IP addresses. When the NULL pointer is returned from the get_edge function and this return value is not handled by calling functions, a NULL pointer dereference issue can be triggered. As this flaw requires a crafted link ID or advertised router IP address to create an invalid edge key can and can result only in a denial of service condition, it has been rated with a moderate severity.

The FRR package as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 is not affected by this vulnerability because the vulnerable code was introduced in a newer version of FRR.
