CWE-682  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:7 quagga.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream quagga package and not the quagga package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The aspath_put function in bgpd/bgp_aspath.c in Quagga before 1.2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (session drop) via BGP UPDATE messages, because AS_PATH size calculation for long paths counts certain bytes twice and consequently constructs an invalid message.
