Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-11-18 12:09:22 UTC
A security flaw was found in the way Quagga bgpd daemon
processed certain route metrics information. A configured BGP peer
could use this flaw to send a BGP message with specially-crafted
value of AS-path attribute, which would cause the bgpd daemon on
all systems on the route the message travels to reset the BGP session.

Comment 9 Jan Lieskovsky 2011-03-22 16:10:48 UTC
This issue did NOT affect the versions of the quagga package,
as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5, as they
did not include support for AS-Pathlimit feature yet.

--

This issue affects the version of the quagga package, as shipped
with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

--

This issue affects the versions of the quagga package, as shipped
with Fedora release of 13 and 14.
