CVE-2010-2948: Buffer Overflow

First published: Tue Aug 24 2010(Updated: )

A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Quagga's bgpd daemon processed Route-Refresh messages. A configured Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) peer could send a Route-Refresh message with specially-crafted Outbound Route Filtering (ORF) record, which would cause the master BGP daemon (bgpd) to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running bgpd.
