Portage tree currently does not contain any vulnerable version(i have checked the sources of 0.99.22.4), and we have already filed GLSA for versions <0.99.22.4), so i will close that as fixed. CVE-2013-6051 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-6051): The bgp_attr_unknown function in bgp_attr.c in Quagga 0.99.21 does not properly initialize the total variable, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (bgpd crash) via a crafted BGP update. |
