TITLE:
Quagga Multiple Denial of Service Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA26744

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/26744/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
DoS

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Quagga 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/4731/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Quagga, which can be
exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerabilities are caused due to bgpd improperly handling
messages and attributes sent by peers. This can be exploited to crash
bgpd by sending a specially crafted "OPEN" message or a specially
crafted "COMMUNITY" attribute to the affected server.

Successful exploitation requires that the attacker is configured as
peer of the victim system, and that the debugging of BGP updates is
on.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 0.99.9.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in unstable version 0.99.9.

Connect to trusted peers only.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Mu Security.
