Yep, an invalid as-path attribute was injected from somewhere. Our as-path sanity check code failed to catch this case.
thank you for this nice code, which caused our gated to crash... Where may i send my bill to :-)))
I suggest the bill be sent to the guy/vendor that injected the bad path :-)
We have opened the following ddts:
====== Bug ID : CSCdk63586 Project: CSC.sys Status : O 3 encls Product : all Found : customer-use Care Update: N Versions : 11.1CC Headline : BGP: Tighten as-path sanity check
fine to see, that it is corrected in 12.0(2)S.
It is being patched into many other versions that are of interest to customers.
This will be another reason for cisco to force everybody to throw away 11.1.X up to 11.3.X....
That might be ***your*** reason, but not Cisco's as far as I can tell :-) -- Enke
