Release 02.8.00a BigIron RX device does not properly restrict packets sent with a source port of 179. Port 179 is commonly used for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) communication. These packets are allowed through the system. This has been reported by US-CERT http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/853246 (Defect 000355173). In Release 02.8.00a of the Multi-Service IronWare software, a new CLI command, hw-opt bgp | bfd, was added to disable internal ACLs for BGP and BFD. To deny BGP traffic on the interface 1/15, enter the following commands. BigIron RX(config)# interface ethernet 1/15 BigIron RX(config-if-e10000-1/15)# enable BigIron RX(config-if-e10000-1/15)# hw-opt bgp BigIron RX(config-if-e10000-1/15)# exit Syntax: hw-opt bgp | bfd The bgp parameter disables prioritization of BGP packets. The bfd parameter disables prioritization of BFD packets. Release 02.8.00 The following table lists the enhancements for the release 2.8.00.
