Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-0249)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

Buffer overflow in the ospf_ls_upd_list_lsa function in ospf_packet.c in the OSPFv2 implementation in ospfd in Quagga before 0.99.20.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a Link State Update (aka LS Update) packet that is smaller than the length specified in its header.


2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-0250)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

Buffer overflow in the OSPFv2 implementation in ospfd in Quagga before 0.99.20.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a Link State Update (aka LS Update) packet containing a network-LSA link-state advertisement for which the data-structure length is smaller than the value in the Length header field.


3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-0255)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

The BGP implementation in bgpd in Quagga before 0.99.20.1 does not properly use message buffers for OPEN messages, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a message associated with a malformed Four-octet AS Number Capability (aka AS4 capability).


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-1820)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

The bgp_capability_orf function in bgpd in Quagga 0.99.20.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) by leveraging a BGP peering relationship and sending a malformed Outbound Route Filtering (ORF) capability TLV in an OPEN message.


5) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-2236)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the new_msg_lsa_change_notify function in the OSPFD API (ospf_api.c) when processing a large LSA. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
