Remediation

Vendor Workaround

router bgp <asn> no bgp transport listen-port If the non-default listen port must be retained, the required modifications to the control plane ACL (to allow the non-default listen port to be reached) should be made in such a manner to provide the desired protection — only allowing TCP connections using the non-default listen port when the remote IP address is an expected one, and if applicable, when the TTL value is within the expected range.
