Detail

It has been discovered that the Quagga routing daemon contains two denial-of-service vulnerabilities in its BGP implementation:

CVE-2010-1674 A crafted Extended Communities attribute triggers a null pointer dereference which causes the BGP daemon to crash. The crafted attributes are not propagated by the Internet core, so only explicitly configured direct peers are able to exploit this vulnerability in typical configurations.

CVE-2010-1675 The BGP daemon resets BGP sessions when it encounters malformed AS_PATHLIMIT attributes, introducing a distributed BGP session reset vulnerability which disrupts packet forwarding. Such malformed attributes are propagated by the Internet core, and exploitation of this vulnerability is not restricted to directly configured BGP peers.

This security update removes AS_PATHLIMIT processing from the BGP implementation, preserving the configuration statements for backwards compatibility. (Standardization of this BGP extension was abandoned long ago.)

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 0.99.10-1lenny5.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 0.99.17-2+squeeze2.

For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your quagga packages.

Title: USN-1095-1 -- quagga vulnerabilities
Description: It was discovered that Quagga incorrectly parsed certain malformed extended communities. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause Quagga to crash, resulting in a denial of service. It was discovered that Quagga resets BGP sessions when encountering malformed AS_PATHLIMIT attributes. A remote attacker could use this flaw to disrupt BGP sessions, resulting in a denial of service. This update removes AS_PATHLIMIT support from Quagga. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, 9.10, 10.04 LTS and 10.10

Id Description
71259 Quagga Extended Communities Attribute Handling NULL Dereference Remote DoS

Quagga contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a NULL-pointer dereference error occurs, allowing a remote attacker to use crafted extended community attributes to crash the 'bgpd' daemon, resulting in a loss of availability.
71258 Quagga AS_PATHLIMIT BGP Session Reset Remote DoS

Quagga contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when the AS path limit/TTL functionality encounters an error when parsing some specific AS_PATHLIMIT attributes, allowing a remote attacker to use crafted AS_PATHLIMIT attributes to reset BGP sessions, resulting in a loss of availability.
