Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

GoBGP versions before 4.3.0 (github.com/osrg/gobgp/v4) can panic with an index out of range error when processing a malformed BGP UPDATE message containing AS_PATH and AS4_PATH attributes in an unusual order. An attacker who can send BGP UPDATE messages to a GoBGP peer, including through a transit provider, can crash the daemon and disrupt routing. Upgrade to version 4.3.0 or later. The source gives few details on workarounds.
