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.

Brocade BigIron RX switches allow remote attackers to bypass ACL rules by using 179 as the source port of a packet.
