Debian DLA-662-1 : quagga security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 94110

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was stack overrun in IPv6 RA receive code in quagga, a BGP/OSPF/RIP routing daemon.

The buffer size specified when receiving mixed up two constants that have different values.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in quagga version 0.99.22.4-1+wheezy3+deb7u1.

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.
