This incident, which affected the connectivity of several autonomous systems (AS), highlighted the importance of maintaining a robust and up-to-date routing infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>What Are BGP Attributes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is essential for the operation of the Internet, as it allows Autonomous Systems to exchange routing information. BGP UPDATE messages play a key role in this process, as they announce new routes, modify existing ones, or withdraw those that are no longer valid. These messages contain attributes that describe the characteristics of the route, such as the IP prefix and the list of ASs through which the traffic traverses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, certain BGP attributes become obsolete due to technological advancements or changes in operational needs. The IANA and IETF working groups are responsible for managing the creation and obsolescence of these attributes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presence of obsolete BGP attributes can lead to various problems, such as the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Router incompatibility: Different software versions may interpret obsolete attributes differently, potentially leading to BGP sessions being dropped or the propagation of incorrect information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Security vulnerabilities: Obsolete attributes can be exploited by hackers to manipulate traffic or disrupt service.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unnecessary complexity: The persistence of obsolete attributes adds to the complexity of network management and makes it more difficult to troubleshoot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>The Case of the \u2018Entropy Label\u2019 Attribute<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On 2 June 2023, a Brazilian Autonomous System (AS) announced one of its routes with attribute 28 (Entropy Label) enabled and marked as transitive, indicating that it should be propagated to other routers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the BGP Entropy Label attribute caused BGP sessions to drop on routers beyond the AS&#8217;s direct peers. This issue was observed across different BGP implementations, where certain versions failed to handle this attribute correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This flaw was classified as a vulnerability, and the need to maintain consistency in BGP implementations considering the state of obsolete attributes was highlighted to avoid similar disruptions in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>List of devices vulnerable to attacks with malformed BGP attributes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cve.mitre.org\/cgi-bin\/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-4481\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CVE-2023-4481<\/a> (Juniper)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cve.mitre.org\/cgi-bin\/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-38802\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CVE-2023-38802<\/a> (FRR)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cve.mitre.org\/cgi-bin\/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-38283\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CVE-2023-38283<\/a> (OpenBGPd)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cve.mitre.org\/cgi-bin\/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-40457\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CVE-2023-40457<\/a> (EXOS)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Analysis of Obsolete Attributes in the LACNIC Region<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LACNIC conducted a study on the presence of obsolete attributes in BGP announcements observed by the LACNIC collector (RRC24) between October 2022 and October 2024.

The graph shows an increase in the number of announcements with attribute 21 towards the end of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When analyzing the number of announcements for each ASN individually, it was observed that three ASNs began announcing with attribute 21 starting on 21 August 2024. Additionally, a fourth ASN showed a significant increase in announcements around the same dates, contributing to the overall increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Announcements with attribute No. 28 (Entropy Label) were not found in the data obtained from the BVIEWS, which is mentioned in the articles that originated this analysis. Therefore, we decided to analyze the UPDATES messages for the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"acf-view acf-view--id--21788 acf-view--object-id--28742\"><div class=\"acf-view__texto_fijo acf-view__row\"><div class=\"acf-view__texto_fijo-field acf-view__field\"><div class=\"acf-view__texto_fijo-choice acf-view__choice\">Additional reading:<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"acf-view__enlace acf-view__row\"><div class=\"acf-view__enlace-field acf-view__field\"><a target=\"_self\" class=\"acf-view__enlace-link acf-view__link\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.lacnic.net\/en\/thousands-of-fortinet-device-credentials-released\/\">Thousands of Fortinet Device Credentials Released<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>UPDATES Analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Results revealed the presence of three obsolete attributes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No. 20: Connector Attribute<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No. 21: AS_PATHLIMIT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No. 28: Entropy Label<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No. 243: Unidentified<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of updates with each of the obsolete attributes mentioned above observed during the period that was considered is shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For attribute No. 20, a high variability in the number of updates was observed, with peaks ranging from 200 to 750 per day.
