Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2012-0255 medium priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (quagga), 7 status rows across 7 suites (hardy, lucid, maverick, natty, oneiric, precise, upstream): released 5, ignored 2.
The BGP implementation in bgpd in Quagga before 0.99.20.1 does not properly use message buffers for OPEN messages, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a message associated with a malformed Four-octet AS Number Capability (aka AS4 capability).
