The bgp_nlri_parse_vpnv4 function in bgp_mplsvpn.c in the VPNv4 NLRI parser in bgpd in Quagga before 1.0.20160309, when a certain VPNv4 configuration is used, relies on a Labeled-VPN SAFI routes-data length field during a data copy, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow) via a crafted packet.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - quagga: Buffer Overflow in IPv6 RA handling (CVE-2016-1245)

  - quagga: VPNv4 NLRI parser memcpys to stack on unchecked length (CVE-2016-2342)

  - The bgp_dump_routes_func function in bgpd/bgp_dump.c in Quagga does not perform size checks when dumping     data, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon crash)     via a large BGP packet. (CVE-2016-4049)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - quagga: VPNv4 NLRI parser memcpys to stack on unchecked length (CVE-2016-2342)

  - quagga: Double free vulnerability in bgpd when processing certain forms of UPDATE message allowing to     crash or potentially execute arbitrary code (CVE-2018-5379)

  - quagga (ospf6d) 0.99.21 has a DoS flaw in the way the ospf6d daemon performs routes removal     (CVE-2012-5521)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

According to the versions of the quagga package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The bgp_nlri_parse_vpnv4 function in bgp_mplsvpn.c in     the VPNv4 NLRI parser in bgpd in Quagga before     1.0.20160309, when a certain VPNv4 configuration is     used, relies on a Labeled-VPN SAFI routes-data length     field during a data copy, which allows remote attackers     to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service     (stack-based buffer overflow) via a crafted     packet.(CVE-2016-2342)

  - Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol     implementations may improperly determine Link State     Advertisement (LSA) recency for LSAs with     MaxSequenceNumber. According to RFC 2328 section 13.1,     for two instances of the same LSA, recency is     determined by first comparing sequence numbers, then     checksums, and finally MaxAge. In a case where the     sequence numbers are the same, the LSA with the larger     checksum is considered more recent, and will not be     flushed from the Link State Database (LSDB). Since the     RFC does not explicitly state that the values of links     carried by a LSA must be the same when prematurely     aging a self-originating LSA with MaxSequenceNumber, it     is possible in vulnerable OSPF implementations for an     attacker to craft a LSA with MaxSequenceNumber and     invalid links that will result in a larger checksum and     thus a 'newer' LSA that will not be flushed from the     LSDB. Propagation of the crafted LSA can result in the     erasure or alteration of the routing tables of routers     within the routing domain, creating a denial of service     condition or the re-routing of traffic on the network.
    CVE-2017-3224 has been reserved for Quagga and     downstream implementations (SUSE, openSUSE, and Red Hat     packages).(CVE-2017-3224)

According to the versions of the quagga package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

The root cause was relying on BUFSIZ to be     compatible with a message size however, BUFSIZ is     system-dependent.(CVE-2016-1245)

This update addresses multiple security problems and fixes systemd dependencies.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201610-03 (Quagga: Arbitrary code execution)

    A memcpy function in the VPNv4 NLRI parser of bgp_mplsvpn.c does not       properly check the upper-bound length of received Labeled-VPN SAFI routes       data, which may allow for arbitrary code execution on the stack.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could send a specially crafted packet, possibly       resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the       process or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

This update for quagga fixes the following security issue :

  - CVE-2016-2342: Quagga was extended the prefixlen check     to ensure it is within the bound of the NLRI packet data     and the on-stack prefix structure and the maximum size     for the address family (bsc#970952).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Kostya Kortchinsky discovered a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the VPNv4 NLRI parser in bgpd in quagga, a BGP/OSPF/RIP routing daemon. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (daemon crash), or potentially, execution of arbitrary code, if bgpd is configured with BGP peers enabled for VPNv4.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2941-1 advisory.

    Kostya Kortchinsky discovered that Quagga incorrectly handled certain route data when configured with BGP     peers enabled for VPNv4. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Quagga to crash, resulting in a     denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2342)

    It was discovered that Quagga incorrectly handled messages with a large LSA when used in certain     configurations. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Quagga to crash, resulting in a denial of     service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-2236)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
