Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 quagga to version 0.99.24.1-2ubuntu1.4 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 Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
The Quagga BGP daemon (bgpd) prior to version 1.2.3 has a bug in its parsing of "Capabilities" in BGP OPEN messages, in the bgp_packet.c:bgp_capability_msg_parse function. The parser can enter an infinite loop on invalid capabilities if a Multi-Protocol capability does not have a recognized AFI/SAFI, causing a denial of service.
