From: Yue Tao <Yue.Tao at windriver.com>

Stack-based buffer overflow in the new_msg_lsa_change_notify function in
the OSPFD API (ospf_api.c) in Quagga before 0.99.22.2, when
--enable-opaque-lsa and the -a command line option are used, allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a large LSA.

+Subject: [PATCH] ospfd: CVE-2013-2236, stack overrun in apiserver
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport
+
+the OSPF API-server (exporting the LSDB and allowing announcement of
+Opaque-LSAs) writes past the end of fixed on-stack buffers.  This leads
+to an exploitable stack overflow.
+
+For this condition to occur, the following two conditions must be true:
+- Quagga is configured with --enable-opaque-lsa
+- ospfd is started with the "-a" command line option
+
+If either of these does not hold, the relevant code is not executed and
+the issue does not get triggered.
+
+Since the issue occurs on receiving large LSAs (larger than 1488 bytes),
+it is possible for this to happen during normal operation of a network.
+In particular, if there is an OSPF router with a large number of
+interfaces, the Router-LSA of that router may exceed 1488 bytes and
+trigger this, leading to an ospfd crash.
+
+For an attacker to exploit this, s/he must be able to inject valid LSAs
+into the OSPF domain.  Any best-practice protection measure (using
+crypto authentication, restricting OSPF to internal interfaces, packet
+filtering protocol 89, etc.) will prevent exploitation.  On top of that,
+remote (not on an OSPF-speaking network segment) attackers will have
+difficulties bringing up the adjacency needed to inject a LSA.
+
+This patch only performs minimal changes to remove the possibility of a
+stack overrun.  The OSPF API in general is quite ugly and needs a
+rewrite.
