Descriptions
The Quagga BGP daemon (bgpd) prior to version 1.2.3 can double-free memory when processing certain forms of UPDATE message, containing cluster-list and/or unknown attributes. A successful attack could cause a denial of service or potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
El demonio Quagga BGP (bgpd), en versiones anteriores a la 1.2.3, puede realizar una doble liberación (double free) de memoria al procesar ciertos formularios de un mensaje UPDATE que contienen atributos cluster-list y/o desconocidos. Un ataque con éxito podría provocar una denegación de servicio (DoS) o permitir que un atacante ejecute código arbitrario.
A double-free vulnerability was found in Quagga. A BGP peer could send a specially crafted UPDATE message which would cause allocated blocks of memory to be free()d more than once, potentially leading to a crash or other issues.
It was discovered that a double-free vulnerability existed in the Quagga BGP daemon when processing certain forms of UPDATE message. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the Quagga BGP daemon did not properly bounds check the data sent with a NOTIFY to a peer. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information or possibly cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 17.10. Various other issues were also addressed.
