In short
A flaw in the rpd process allows a configured BGP-LS peer to trigger a reachable assertion by sending a specific BGP-LS update. An attacker with network access and an established BGP-LS session can exploit this to crash the process, causing a denial of service. No authentication or user interaction is required to execute this attack.
