CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade quagga/quagga to version 1.0.20161017 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. It was discovered that the zebra daemon in Quagga before 1.0.20161017 suffered from a stack-based buffer overflow when processing IPv6 Neighbor Discovery messages. The root cause was relying on BUFSIZ to be compatible with a message size; however, BUFSIZ is system-dependent.
