I'm not trying to exploit it so I'm not looking at the detail here :)

I gave one idea in "Re: [nsp] bgp vulnerability, just note" .. that the LG can 
be used to find out details about the iBGP setup (IPs of loopbacks, ports etc) 
and you can learn a lot about a previously unknown core router...

I'm sure theres other things you can do if you spend time thinking :)
