CVE-2013-7306
CWE-20Published: January 23, 2014· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
5.4
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The OSPF implementation on Brocade routers does not consider the possibility of duplicate Link State ID values in Link State Advertisement (LSA) packets before performing operations on the LSA database, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (routing disruption) or obtain sensitive packet information via a crafted LSA packet, a related issue to CVE-2013-0149.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2013-7306 requires adjacent network access, limiting remote exploitation but still posing risk in shared or local network environments.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
