This update for quagga fixes the following issues :

  - The Quagga BGP daemon contained a bug in the AS_PATH     size calculation that could have been exploited to     facilitate a remote denial-of-service attack via     specially crafted BGP UPDATE messages. [CVE-2017-16227,     bsc#1065641]

  - The Quagga BGP daemon did not check whether data sent to     peers via NOTIFY had an invalid attribute length. It was     possible to exploit this issue and cause the bgpd     process to leak sensitive information over the network     to a configured peer. [CVE-2018-5378, bsc#1079798]

  - The Quagga BGP daemon used to double-free memory when     processing certain forms of UPDATE messages. This issue     could be exploited by sending an optional/transitive     UPDATE attribute that all conforming eBGP speakers     should pass along. Consequently, a single UPDATE message     could have affected many bgpd processes across a wide     area of a network. Through this vulnerability, attackers     could potentially have taken over control of affected     bgpd processes remotely. [CVE-2018-5379, bsc#1079799]

  - It was possible to overrun internal BGP code-to-string     conversion tables in the Quagga BGP daemon. Configured     peers could have exploited this issue and cause bgpd to     emit debug and warning messages into the logs that would     contained arbitrary bytes. [CVE-2018-5380, bsc#1079800]

  - The Quagga BGP daemon could have entered an infinite     loop if sent an invalid OPEN message by a configured     peer. If this issue was exploited, then bgpd would cease     to respond to any other events. BGP sessions would have     been dropped and not be reestablished. The CLI interface     would have been unresponsive. The bgpd daemon would have     stayed in this state until restarted. [CVE-2018-5381,     bsc#1079801]

  - The Quagga daemon's telnet 'vty' CLI contains an     unbounded memory allocation bug that could be exploited     for a denial-of-service attack on the daemon. This issue     has been fixed. [CVE-2017-5495, bsc#1021669]

  - The telnet 'vty' CLI of the Quagga daemon is no longer     enabled by default, because the passwords in the default     'zebra.conf' config file are now disabled. The vty     interface is available via 'vtysh' utility using pam     authentication to permit management access for root     without password. [bsc#1021669]

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3573-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that a double-free vulnerability existed in the Quagga BGP daemon when processing     certain forms of UPDATE message. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-5379)

    It was discovered that the Quagga BGP daemon did not properly bounds check the data sent with a NOTIFY to     a peer. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information or possibly cause a denial of service.
    This issue only affected Ubuntu 17.10. (CVE-2018-5378)

    It was discovered that a table overrun vulnerability existed in the Quagga BGP daemon. An attacker in     control of a configured peer could use this to possibly expose sensitive information or possibly cause a     denial of service. (CVE-2018-5380)

    It was discovered that the Quagga BGP daemon in some configurations did not properly handle invalid OPEN     messages. An attacker in control of a configured peer could use this to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop). (CVE-2018-5381)

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.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Quagga, a routing daemon. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues :

  - CVE-2018-5378     It was discovered that the Quagga BGP daemon, bgpd, does     not properly bounds check data sent with a NOTIFY to a     peer, if an attribute length is invalid. A configured     BGP peer can take advantage of this bug to read memory     from the bgpd process or cause a denial of service     (daemon crash).

  https://www.quagga.net/security/Quagga-2018-0543.txt

  - CVE-2018-5379     It was discovered that the Quagga BGP daemon, bgpd, can     double-free memory when processing certain forms of     UPDATE message, containing cluster-list and/or unknown     attributes, resulting in a denial of service (bgpd     daemon crash).

  https://www.quagga.net/security/Quagga-2018-1114.txt

  - CVE-2018-5380     It was discovered that the Quagga BGP daemon, bgpd, does     not properly handle internal BGP code-to-string     conversion tables.

  https://www.quagga.net/security/Quagga-2018-1550.txt

  - CVE-2018-5381     It was discovered that the Quagga BGP daemon, bgpd, can     enter an infinite loop if sent an invalid OPEN message     by a configured peer. A configured peer can take     advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service     (bgpd daemon not responding to any other events; BGP     sessions will drop and not be reestablished;
    unresponsive CLI interface).
