Route to Bugs: Analyzing the Security of BGP Message Parsing

This talk discusses an often-overlooked aspect of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) security: vulnerabilities in its software implementations. More specifically, vulnerabilities in BGP message parsing.

Software suites implementing BGP are nowadays relied upon for Internet routing and for functions such as internal routing in most large data centers as well as MPLS L3 VPNs. Following the Network Function Disaggregation (NFD) trend, many leading implementations are nowadays open source....
