quagga: VPNv4 NLRI parser memcpys to stack on unchecked length

Published Mar 17, 2016 CVSS 3.0 · 8.1 High EPSS 13.3% KEV · Not listed
Description
The bgp_nlri_parse_vpnv4 function in bgp_mplsvpn.c in the VPNv4 NLRI parser in bgpd in Quagga before 1.0.20160309, when a certain VPNv4 configuration is used, relies on a Labeled-VPN SAFI routes-data length field during a data copy, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow) via a crafted packet.
