Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Double free memory error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5379)
CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the Quagga BGP daemon due to double-free memory when processing certain forms of UPDATE message, containing cluster-list and/or unknown attributes. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted input, trigger bqpd to crash and execute arbitrary code.
2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5380)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information or cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the Quagga BGP daemon due to out-of-bounds read. A remote attacker send a specially crafted input, overrun internal BGP code-to-string conversion tables used for debug by 1 pointer value and read arbitrary data or cause a denial of service.
3) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5381)
CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the Quagga BGP daemon due to improper handling of invalid OPEN messages. A remote attacker can trigger infinite loop and cause the service to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
