Debian DLA-1152-1 : quagga security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 104301

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that the bgpd daemon in the Quagga routing suite does not properly calculate the length of multi-segment AS_PATH UPDATE messages, causing bgpd to drop a session and potentially resulting in loss of network connectivity.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version quagga_0.99.22.4-1+wheezy3+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your quagga packages.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected quagga, quagga-dbg, and quagga-doc packages.
