My bgp speaking devices are a couple of 7200s running 12.2(40). Not the newest IOS out there, but it's been doing the job just fine up until yesterday. Yesterday, when that malformed announcement hit my routers they didn't crash, but they did reset bgp sessions (even though I didn't accept the route) and they kept doing so until I got my upstream to filter it out. According to cisco bug toolkit CSCdr54230 should be fixed in 12.2, so obviously it's not enough. Does anybody know what IOS version has fix this problem, 'cause I couldn't find this info at CCO?

This seems to primarily impact: 1) Old cisco code 2) PC based bgp daemonsBoth of which likely just need to be upgraded. I actually suspect that a lot of people who dropped their bgp sessions did not notice something happened, and still will not upgrade their code....I suspect these people don't even know they have a bgp speaking device anymore.On the other hand, the fact that various entities have gone out of their way to advertise that they're running old hardware/out-of-date software has been noted elsewhere. I'd strongly suggest, if you're reading NANOG, that you update, before someone less pleasant and friendly than myself finds you. Please.
