Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 6.10 / 7.04 : quagga vulnerability (USN-512-1)

low Nessus Plugin ID 28117

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

It was discovered that Quagga did not correctly verify OPEN messages or COMMUNITY attributes sent from configured peers. Malicious authenticated remote peers could send a specially crafted message which would cause bgpd to abort, leading to a denial of service.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected quagga and / or quagga-doc packages.
