Previously published versions of these releases have been rebuilt to resolve the security vulnerabilities identified in this advisory.

Workaround

If OSPF packet processing on an enabled interface isn't needed, but it has just been configured so that it's added to the LSDB, ensure it's configured as 'passive': [ protocols ospf area <area> interface <interface> passive ] The rpd crash only occurs with [ protocols ospf traceoptions flag lsa-update detail ] configured, so removing that line will prevent this.
