How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 quagga to version 0.99.23.1-1+deb8u2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream quagga package and not the quagga package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The quagga package before 0.99.23-2.6.1 in openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP 1 uses weak permissions for /etc/quagga, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading files in the directory.
