Description

Heap-based buffer overflow in the ecommunity_ecom2str function in bgp_ecommunity.c in bgpd in Quagga before 0.99.19 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted BGP UPDATE message over IPv4.

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
