Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Memory corruption

EUVDB-ID: #VU10655

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5378

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in the Quagga BGP daemon due to failure to properly bounds check data sent with a NOTIFY to a peer by the Quagga BGP daemon, bgpd. A remote attacker can send specially crafted input and cause the bgpd process or the daemon to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
net-misc/quagga to version: 1.2.4

Vulnerable software versions

Gentoo Linux: All versions

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Double free memory error

EUVDB-ID: #VU10612

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5379

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in the Quagga BGP daemon due to double-free memory when processing certain forms of UPDATE message, containing cluster-list and/or unknown attributes. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted input, trigger bqpd to crash and execute arbitrary code.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
net-misc/quagga to version: 1.2.4

3) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU10617

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 6.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5380

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information or cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in the Quagga BGP daemon due to out-of-bounds read. A remote attacker send a specially crafted input, overrun internal BGP code-to-string conversion tables used for debug by 1 pointer value and read arbitrary data or cause a denial of service.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
net-misc/quagga to version: 1.2.4

4) Infinite loop

EUVDB-ID: #VU10618

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5381

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in the Quagga BGP daemon due to improper handling of invalid OPEN messages. A remote attacker can trigger infinite loop and cause the service to crash.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
net-misc/quagga to version: 1.2.4
