Description Jan Lieskovsky 2012-03-13 15:20:35 UTC 
A denial service flaw was found in the way Quagga's ospfd daemon processed certain OSPF LS-Update packets. An adjacent OSPF router could send an OSPF Link State Update (LS-Update) packet with a specially-crafted value of the included Network-LSA structures, which once processed would cause the vulnerable ospfd daemon to crash (due to a buffer overflow). A different vulnerability than CVE-2012-0249.
