Quagga: Arbitrary code execution

Quagga: Arbitrary code execution A buffer overflow in Quagga might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. quagga 2016-10-10 2016-10-10 577156 remote 1.0.20160315 1.0.20160315

Quagga is a free routing daemon replacing Zebra supporting RIP, OSPF and BGP.

A memcpy function in the VPNv4 NLRI parser of bgp_mplsvpn.c does not properly check the upper-bound length of received Labeled-VPN SAFI routes data, which may allow for arbitrary code execution on the stack.

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted packet, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Quagga users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/quagga-1.0.20160315"
