CVE-2017-5495 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2017-5495):
  All versions of Quagga, 0.93 through 1.1.0, are vulnerable to an unbounded
  memory allocation in the telnet 'vty' CLI, leading to a Denial-of-Service of
  Quagga daemons, or even the entire host. When Quagga daemons are configured
  with their telnet CLI enabled, anyone who can connect to the TCP ports can
  trigger this vulnerability, prior to authentication. Most distributions
  restrict the Quagga telnet interface to local access only by default. The
  Quagga telnet interface 'vty' input buffer grows automatically, without
  bound, so long as a newline is not entered. This allows an attacker to cause
  the Quagga daemon to allocate unbounded memory by sending very long strings
  without a newline. Eventually the daemon is terminated by the system, or the
  system itself runs out of memory. This is fixed in Quagga 1.1.1 and Free
  Range Routing (FRR) Protocol Suite 2017-01-10.
