Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2010:0945 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: quagga security update 2010-12-06 19:21:22 UTC

Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-08-24 12:58:37 UTC 
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way Quagga's bgpd daemon
parsed paths of autonomous systems (AS). A configured BGP peer could send
a BGP update AS path request with unknown AS type, which could lead to
denial of service (bgpd daemon crash).
