Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

It was discovered that Quagga incorrectly handled certain Outbound Route Filtering (ORF) records. A remote authenticated attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code. The default compiler options for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and later should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service.
(CVE-2010-2948)

It was discovered that Quagga incorrectly parsed certain AS paths. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause Quagga to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2010-2949).

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

Solution

Update the affected quagga and / or quagga-doc packages.
