bgpd in Quagga before 0.99.17 does not properly parse AS paths, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via an unknown AS type in an AS path attribute in a BGP UPDATE message.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can let a remote party crash Quagga's BGP daemon by sending a malformed BGP update. For organizations using Quagga for routing, the business risk is routing disruption, not data theft. Exposure depends on running bgpd before 0.99.17 and accepting BGP updates from reachable peers. Likely exposed systems are routers or servers running Quagga bgpd before 0.99.17, especially where BGP sessions accept updates from external or weakly controlled peers. Systems not running Quagga bgpd are not indicated as affected by the provided sources. Prioritize remediation where Quagga bgpd supports production routing or internet-facing BGP peering. The likely impact is service disruption from routing daemon crashes. Legacy systems should be treated as higher urgency because the issue is old and fixed packages have long been available. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Quagga to 0.99.17 or a vendor-fixed package.; Apply relevant Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, SUSE, Gentoo, or Mandriva advisories where applicable.; Restrict BGP peering to trusted, expected neighbors..
