1) Missing release of memory after effective lifetime (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21611)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to missing release of memory after effective lifetime error in the Routing Protocol Daemon (rpd). A remote non-authenticated attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
