Am I affected?

With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.

Description

An unauthenticated attacker on an adjacent network segment can bypass MD5 authentication and have unauthorized RIP route updates accepted by the device. Successful exploitation requires that RIPv2 MD5 authentication is configured on the affected interface. An attacker who can inject crafted RIPv2 packets could cause the device to install routes that redirect network traffic through attacker-controlled paths, create routing loops, or blackhole traffic, disrupting network connectivity.
