                       source-prefix-list {

Corrected Text

   term ebgp-reply {
                   from {
                       source-prefix-list {
                           EBGP-NEIGHBORS;
                       }
                       protocol tcp;
                       tcp-established;
                       source-port bgp;
                   }
                   then accept;
               }



Notes
-----
There is a security question in that firewall relating to bgp reply.
Any neighbor that fakes a tcp source port to 179 can access any router port, for example, ssh.
Need to add the line tcp-established. Would also be better to add source-port bgp since bgp protocol uses the 179 port to destination. Add the fix to all bgps, including ipv6.
