Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201712-7
=========================================
Severity: Medium
Date : 2017-12-13
CVE-ID : CVE-2017-16227
Package : quagga
Type : denial of service
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-481
Summary
=======
The package quagga before version 1.2.2-1 is vulnerable to denial of
service.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 1.2.2-1.
# pacman -Syu "quagga>=1.2.2-1"
The problem has been fixed upstream in version 1.2.2.
Workaround
==========
None.
Description
===========
A denial of service flaw was found in the way the bgpd daemon in quagga
before 1.2.2 handled the processing of large BGP update messages. A
remote, previously trusted attacker could potentially use this flaw to
cause bgpd to terminate existing BGP sessions, thereby leading to
denial of service.
Impact
======
A remote previously trusted attacker is able to crash quagga with a
maliciously crafted message.
