This could be a workaround. I'll ask our upstream providers if they can do this.

But it's nothing more than a workaround:
We have to wait until someone sends this malformed updates again and have than to react on it.

@Marcin:
1. Downgrade is not an option here. We need some of the features in the 6.4 train
2. We don't use communities here. What effect does it have if our upstreams are clearing that?
3. We are multi homed and have BGP-Peerings with customers of us. So I think it's also no option to get only the default route from the upstream. As a workaround this could also work.
