A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Quagga (Network Routing Software). This affects an unknown function. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-476. A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

bgpd in Quagga before 0.99.9 allows explicitly configured BGP peers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed (1) OPEN message or (2) a COMMUNITY attribute, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference. NOTE: vector 2 only exists when debugging is enabled.
