Secure testing team - Aug 2010 - Bug#594262: quagga: Two BGP security problems fixed in 0.99.17

Package: quagga
Version: 0.99.16
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

The release notes of quagga 0.99.17 on
http://www.quagga.net/news2.php?y=2010&m=8&d=19#id1282241100 mention
that:
"This release provides two important bugfixes, which address remote crash
possibility in bgpd discovered by CROSS team. "

CVE IDs have already been requested by someone from RedHat on oss-security:
http://marc.info/?l=oss-security&m=128265627617285&w=2 but not yet been
granted.

Meanwhile I upload 0.99.17 to sid and ask if 0.99.10 (lenny) is affected and if
there''s a 0.99.16 backport for the frozen squeeze.

bye,
