Quagga · Quagga · CVE-2012-0249
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Quagga versions prior to 0.99.20.1
Quagga versions prior to 0.99.22.4
**Description**
The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the ospf ls upd list lsa function in ospf packet.c in the OSPFv2 implementation in ospfd. This can be exploited by remote attackers via a Link State Update packet that is smaller than the length specified in its header, leading to a denial of service. Multiple vulnerabilities in the Quagga package can also lead to disruption of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information, and can be exploited remotely.
**Recommendations**
For Quagga versions prior to 0.99.20.1, update to version 0.99.20.1 or later.
For Quagga versions prior to 0.99.22.4, update to version 0.99.22.4 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the OSPFv2 implementation to minimize the risk of exploitation.
