medium Nessus Plugin ID 38697

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Debian Security Team reports :

It was discovered that Quagga, an IP routing daemon, could no longer process the Internet routing table due to broken handling of multiple 4-byte AS numbers in an AS path. If such a prefix is received, the BGP daemon crashes with an assert failure leading to a denial of service.

Solution

Update the affected package.
