Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Overread Buffers An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.

The root cause was relying on BUFSIZ to be compatible with a message size however, BUFSIZ is system-dependent.(CVE-2016-1245) - The Quagga BGP daemon (bgpd) prior to version 1.2.3 can overrun internal BGP code-to-string conversion tables used for debug by 1 pointer value, based on input.(CVE-2018-5380) - The Quagga BGP daemon (bgpd) prior to version 1.2.3 has a bug in its parsing of last seen 2020-05-08 modified 2019-11-08 plugin id 130690 published 2019-11-08 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2019-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/130690 title EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : quagga (EulerOS-SA-2019-2228) NASL family FreeBSD Local Security Checks NASL id FREEBSD_PKG_E15A22CEF16F446B9CA76859350C2E75.NASL description Quagga reports : The Quagga BGP daemon, bgpd, does not properly bounds check the data sent with a NOTIFY to a peer, if an attribute length is invalid. Arbitrary data from the bgpd process may be sent over the network to a peer and/or it may crash. The Quagga BGP daemon, bgpd, can double-free memory when processing certain forms of UPDATE message, containing cluster-list and/or unknown attributes. The Quagga BGP daemon, bgpd, can overrun internal BGP code-to-string conversion tables used for debug by 1 pointer value, based on input. The Quagga BGP daemon, bgpd, can enter an infinite loop if sent an invalid OPEN message by a configured peer. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 106859 published 2018-02-16 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2018 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/106859 title FreeBSD : quagga -- several security issues (e15a22ce-f16f-446b-9ca7-6859350c2e75) NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id OPENSUSE-2018-177.NASL description This update for quagga fixes the following issues : - CVE-2017-16227: Fixed bgpd DoS via specially crafted BGP UPDATE messages (boo#1065641) - CVE-2018-5378: Fixed bgpd bounds check issue via attribute length (Quagga-2018-0543,boo#1079798) - CVE-2018-5379: Fixed bgpd double free when processing UPDATE message (Quagga-2018-1114,boo#1079799) - CVE-2018-5380: Fixed bgpd code-to-string conversion tables overrun (Quagga-2018-1550,boo#1079800) - CVE-2018-5381: Fixed bgpd infinite loop on certain invalid OPEN messages (Quagga-2018-1975,boo#1079801) last seen 2020-06-05 modified 2018-02-20 plugin id 106895 published 2018-02-20 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2018-2020 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/106895 title openSUSE Security Update : quagga (openSUSE-2018-177) NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_SU-2018-0455-1.NASL description This 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.
