NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream quagga package and not the quagga package as distributed by Debian.

The Quagga BGP daemon (bgpd) prior to version 1.2.3 can double-free memory when processing certain forms of UPDATE message, containing cluster-list and/or unknown attributes. A successful attack could cause a denial of service or potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
