Hi,

Quagga 1.2.3 has been released, and it contains fixes for a number of 
BGP security issues, 3 of which were not public till today. Please see:

  http://savannah.nongnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9095

The CERT vulnerability note is at:

  https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/940439

Quagga advisories are at the URIs in the release announcement, also 
available via either of:

  https://gogs.quagga.net/Quagga/quagga/src/master/doc/security
  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/quagga.git/tree/doc/security

Quagga-2018-1114 can be triggered by receiving a transitive BGP 
attribute - meaning it potentially could be triggered by a message sent 
by a BGP speaker far away. It involves a double-free, which could be 
serious, depending on the malloc implementation. See:

 https://gogs.quagga.net/Quagga/quagga/src/master/doc/security/Quagga-2018-1114.txt

Vendors are encouraged to provide backports to older releases.

Quagga users should upgrade to a release appropriate for their stability 
needs with the relevant fixes applied.

regards,
- --
