NVD Description

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

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.
