Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.140461
Category:Denial of Service
Title:Quagga DoS Vulnerability
Summary:Quagga is prone to a denial of service vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Quagga is prone to a denial of service vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
The aspath_put function in bgpd/bgp_aspath.c in Quagga allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (session drop) via BGP UPDATE messages, because AS_PATH size calculation
for long paths counts certain bytes twice and consequently constructs an invalid message.

Affected Software/OS:
Quagga prior version 1.2.2.

Solution:
Update to version 1.2.2 or later.

CVSS Score:
5.0

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
