Vulnerability Assessment Details

[DSA1059] DSA-1059-1 quagga

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-1059-1 quagga

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Konstantin Gavrilenko discovered several vulnerabilities in quagga,
the BGP/OSPF/RIP routing daemon. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project identifies the following problems:
Remote attackers may obtain sensitive information via RIPv1
REQUEST packets even if the quagga has been configured to use MD5
authentication.
Remote attackers could inject arbitrary routes using the RIPv1
RESPONSE packet even if the quagga has been configured to use MD5
authentication.
Fredrik Widell discovered that local users can cause a denial
of service in a certain sh ip bgp command entered in the telnet
interface.
The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain quagga packages.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.98.3-7.2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.99.4-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your quagga package.
