Vendor Solution
Apply upstream commit 7cf75587b6f38b87849fe192bf5dfd124b7702bc or a verified branch-specific backport. The fix requires the original IPv6 destination-prefix component to have offset zero before it can pass FlowSpec validation. The first fixed release has not yet been verified.

| Title | IPv6 FlowSpec Validation Bypass in BIRD Daemon |
Sun, 18 Oct 2026 23:15:00 +0000

|---|---|---|
| Description | An IPv6 FlowSpec validation bypass in the CZ.NIC BIRD Internet Routing Daemon allows an established BGP peer to inject FlowSpec rules matching destinations outside the address space authorized by the unicast-route validation procedure. With validation enabled on the receiving flow6 channel, BIRD fails to reject a destination prefix component with a nonzero offset, contrary to RFC 8956 section 5. It validates a reconstructed prefix with zero-filled skipped bits, although the original FlowSpec component can match a broader set of IPv6 addresses. Given a suitable unicast route from the peer, the rule can pass validation and, where export policy permits, be propagated to downstream peers. Downstream enforcement may cause unauthorized traffic filtering or redirection. | |
