A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 17.10 - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Quagga.

Software Description: - quagga: BGP/OSPF/RIP routing daemon

Details:

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. (CVE-2018-5379)

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. (CVE-2018-5378)

It was discovered that a table overrun vulnerability existed in the Quagga BGP daemon. An attacker in control of a configured peer could use this to possibly expose sensitive information or possibly cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-5380)

It was discovered that the Quagga BGP daemon in some configurations did not properly handle invalid OPEN messages. An attacker in control of a configured peer could use this to cause a denial of service (infinite loop). (CVE-2018-5381)
