CVE-2017-16227

La función aspath_put en bgpd/bgp_aspath.c en Quagga en versiones anteriores a la 1.2.2 permite que los atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (caída de sesión) mediante mensajes BGP Update, ya que el cálculo del tamaño de AS_PATH cuanta una serie de bytes dos veces y en consecuencia construye un menaje no válido.

Andreas Jaggi discovered that Quagga incorrectly handled certain BGP UPDATE messages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Quagga to crash, resulting in a denial of service. 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. Various other issues were also addressed.
