The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3573-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that a double-free vulnerability existed in the Quagga BGP daemon when processing     certain forms of UPDATE message. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-5379)

    It was discovered that the Quagga BGP daemon did not properly bounds check the data sent with a NOTIFY to     a peer. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information or possibly cause a denial of service.
    This issue only affected Ubuntu 17.10. (CVE-2018-5378)

    It was discovered that a table overrun vulnerability existed in the Quagga BGP daemon. An attacker in     control of a configured peer could use this to possibly expose sensitive information or possibly cause a     denial of service. (CVE-2018-5380)

    It was discovered that the Quagga BGP daemon in some configurations did not properly handle invalid OPEN     messages. An attacker in control of a configured peer could use this to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop). (CVE-2018-5381)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

This update for quagga fixes the following issues :

  - The Quagga BGP daemon contained a bug in the AS_PATH     size calculation that could have been exploited to     facilitate a remote denial-of-service attack via     specially crafted BGP UPDATE messages. [CVE-2017-16227,     bsc#1065641]

  - The Quagga BGP daemon did not check whether data sent to     peers via NOTIFY had an invalid attribute length. It was     possible to exploit this issue and cause the bgpd     process to leak sensitive information over the network     to a configured peer. [CVE-2018-5378, bsc#1079798]

  - The Quagga BGP daemon used to double-free memory when     processing certain forms of UPDATE messages. This issue     could be exploited by sending an optional/transitive     UPDATE attribute that all conforming eBGP speakers     should pass along. Consequently, a single UPDATE message     could have affected many bgpd processes across a wide     area of a network. Through this vulnerability, attackers     could potentially have taken over control of affected     bgpd processes remotely. [CVE-2018-5379, bsc#1079799]

  - It was possible to overrun internal BGP code-to-string     conversion tables in the Quagga BGP daemon. Configured     peers could have exploited this issue and cause bgpd to     emit debug and warning messages into the logs that would     contained arbitrary bytes. [CVE-2018-5380, bsc#1079800]

  - The Quagga BGP daemon could have entered an infinite     loop if sent an invalid OPEN message by a configured     peer. If this issue was exploited, then bgpd would cease     to respond to any other events. BGP sessions would have     been dropped and not be reestablished. The CLI interface     would have been unresponsive. The bgpd daemon would have     stayed in this state until restarted. [CVE-2018-5381,     bsc#1079801]

  - The Quagga daemon's telnet 'vty' CLI contains an     unbounded memory allocation bug that could be exploited     for a denial-of-service attack on the daemon. This issue     has been fixed. [CVE-2017-5495, bsc#1021669]

  - The telnet 'vty' CLI of the Quagga daemon is no longer     enabled by default, because the passwords in the default     'zebra.conf' config file are now disabled. The vty     interface is available via 'vtysh' utility using pam     authentication to permit management access for root     without password. [bsc#1021669]

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Quagga, a routing daemon. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues :

CVE-2018-5378

It was discovered that the Quagga BGP daemon, bgpd, does not properly bounds check data sent with a NOTIFY to a peer, if an attribute length is invalid. A configured BGP peer can take advantage of this bug to read memory from the bgpd process or cause a denial of service (daemon crash).

https://www.quagga.net/security/Quagga-2018-0543.txt

CVE-2018-5379

It was discovered that the Quagga BGP daemon, bgpd, can double-free memory when processing certain forms of UPDATE message, containing cluster-list and/or unknown attributes, resulting in a denial of service (bgpd daemon crash).

https://www.quagga.net/security/Quagga-2018-1114.txt

CVE-2018-5380

It was discovered that the Quagga BGP daemon, bgpd, does not properly handle internal BGP code-to-string conversion tables.

https://www.quagga.net/security/Quagga-2018-1550.txt

CVE-2018-5381

It was discovered that the Quagga BGP daemon, bgpd, can enter an infinite loop if sent an invalid OPEN message by a configured peer. A configured peer can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service (bgpd daemon not responding to any other events; BGP sessions will drop and not be reestablished; unresponsive CLI interface).

https://www.quagga.net/security/Quagga-2018-1975.txt

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.99.22.4-1+wheezy3+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your quagga packages.

Arbitrary data from the bgpd process may be sent over the network to a peer and/or it may crash.

The Quagga BGP daemon, bgpd, can double-free memory when processing certain forms of UPDATE message, containing cluster-list and/or unknown attributes.

The Quagga BGP daemon, bgpd, can overrun internal BGP code-to-string conversion tables used for debug by 1 pointer value, based on input.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201804-17 (Quagga: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Quagga. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker, by sending specially crafted packets, could execute       arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Infinite loop issue triggered by invalid OPEN message allows denial-of-service

An infinite loop vulnerability was discovered in Quagga. A BGP peer could send specially crafted packets that would cause the daemon to enter an infinite loop, denying service and consuming CPU until it is restarted.(CVE-2018-5381)

Double free vulnerability in bgpd when processing certain forms of UPDATE message allowing to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code

A double-free vulnerability was found in Quagga. A BGP peer could send a specially crafted UPDATE message which would cause allocated blocks of memory to be free()d more than once, potentially leading to a crash or other issues.(CVE-2018-5379)

bgpd can overrun internal BGP code-to-string conversion tables potentially allowing crash

A vulnerability was found in Quagga, in the log formatting code.
Specially crafted messages sent by BGP peers could cause Quagga to read one element past the end of certain static arrays, causing arbitrary binary data to appear in the logs or potentially, a crash.(CVE-2018-5380)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2018:0377 advisory.
