DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Quagga, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and
potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) A NULL-pointer dereference error when parsing Autonomous System
(AS) paths can be exploited to crash the "bgpd" daemon via a
specially crafted BGP update request from a configured peer.

2) A boundary error when processing Route-Refresh messages can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially
crafted Outbound Route Filtering (ORF) record sent from a configured
peer.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 0.99.17.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 0.99.17.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits the CROSS team.
