How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 quagga-devel to version 0:0.99.15-7.el6_3.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream quagga-devel package and not the quagga-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The BGP implementation in bgpd in Quagga before 0.99.20.1 does not properly use message buffers for OPEN messages, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a message associated with a malformed Four-octet AS Number Capability (aka AS4 capability).
