Summary

The aspath_put function in bgpd/bgp_aspath.c in Quagga before 1.2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (session drop) via BGP UPDATE messages, because AS_PATH size calculation for long paths counts certain bytes twice and consequently constructs an invalid message.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Server Side Include (SSI) Injection
    An attacker can use Server Side Include (SSI) Injection to send code to a web application that then gets executed by the web server. Doing so enables the attacker to achieve similar results to Cross Site Scripting, viz., arbitrary code execution and information disclosure, albeit on a more limited scale, since the SSI directives are nowhere near as powerful as a full-fledged scripting language. Nonetheless, the attacker can conveniently gain access to sensitive files, such as password files, and execute shell commands.
  • Cross Zone Scripting
    An attacker is able to cause a victim to load content into their web-browser that bypasses security zone controls and gain access to increased privileges to execute scripting code or other web objects such as unsigned ActiveX controls or applets. This is a privilege elevation attack targeted at zone-based web-browser security. In a zone-based model, pages belong to one of a set of zones corresponding to the level of privilege assigned to that page. Pages in an untrusted zone would have a lesser level of access to the system and/or be restricted in the types of executable content it was allowed to invoke. In a cross-zone scripting attack, a page that should be assigned to a less privileged zone is granted the privileges of a more trusted zone. This can be accomplished by exploiting bugs in the browser, exploiting incorrect configuration in the zone controls, through a cross-site scripting attack that causes the attackers' content to be treated as coming from a more trusted page, or by leveraging some piece of system functionality that is accessible from both the trusted and less trusted zone. This attack differs from "Restful Privilege Escalation" in that the latter correlates to the inadequate securing of RESTful access methods (such as HTTP DELETE) on the server, while cross-zone scripting attacks the concept of security zones as implemented by a browser.
  • Cross Site Scripting through Log Files
    An attacker may leverage a system weakness where logs are susceptible to log injection to insert scripts into the system's logs. If these logs are later viewed by an administrator through a thin administrative interface and the log data is not properly HTML encoded before being written to the page, the attackers' scripts stored in the log will be executed in the administrative interface with potentially serious consequences. This attack pattern is really a combination of two other attack patterns: log injection and stored cross site scripting.
  • Command Line Execution through SQL Injection
    An attacker uses standard SQL injection methods to inject data into the command line for execution. This could be done directly through misuse of directives such as MSSQL_xp_cmdshell or indirectly through injection of data into the database that would be interpreted as shell commands. Sometime later, an unscrupulous backend application (or could be part of the functionality of the same application) fetches the injected data stored in the database and uses this data as command line arguments without performing proper validation. The malicious data escapes that data plane by spawning new commands to be executed on the host.

    descriptionThis update for quagga fixes the following security issues : - The Quagga BGP daemon contained a bug in the AS_PATH size calculation that could have been exploited to facilitate a remote denial-of-service attack via specially crafted BGP UPDATE messages. [CVE-2017-16227, bsc#1065641] - The Quagga BGP daemon did not check whether data sent to peers via NOTIFY had an invalid attribute length. It was possible to exploit this issue and cause the bgpd process to leak sensitive information over the network to a configured peer. [CVE-2018-5378, bsc#1079798] - The Quagga BGP daemon used to double-free memory when processing certain forms of UPDATE messages. This issue could be exploited by sending an optional/transitive UPDATE attribute that all conforming eBGP speakers should pass along. Consequently, a single UPDATE message could have affected many bgpd processes across a wide area of a network. Through this vulnerability, attackers could potentially have taken over control of affected bgpd processes remotely. [CVE-2018-5379, bsc#1079799] - It was possible to overrun internal BGP code-to-string conversion tables in the Quagga BGP daemon. Configured peers could have exploited this issue and cause bgpd to emit debug and warning messages into the logs that would contained arbitrary bytes. [CVE-2018-5380, bsc#1079800] - The Quagga BGP daemon could have entered an infinite loop if sent an invalid OPEN message by a configured peer. If this issue was exploited, then bgpd would cease to respond to any other events. BGP sessions would have been dropped and not be reestablished. The CLI interface would have been unresponsive. The bgpd daemon would have stayed in this state until restarted. [CVE-2018-5381, bsc#1079801] - The Quagga daemon

A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Quagga to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2017-16227) Quentin Young discovered that Quagga incorrectly handled memory in the telnet vty CLI. An attacker able to connect to the telnet interface could possibly use this issue to cause Quagga to consume memory, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-5495).
