quagga vulnerabilities
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
Several security issues were fixed in Quagga.
Software description
It was discovered that a double-free vulnerability existed in the
Quagga BGP daemon when processing certain forms of UPDATE message.
A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-5379)
It was discovered that the Quagga BGP daemon did not properly bounds
check the data sent with a NOTIFY to a peer. An attacker could use this
to expose sensitive information or possibly cause a denial of service.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 17.10. (CVE-2018-5378)
It was discovered that a table overrun vulnerability existed in the
Quagga BGP daemon. An attacker in control of a configured peer could
use this to possibly expose sensitive information or possibly cause
a denial of service. (CVE-2018-5380)
It was discovered that the Quagga BGP daemon in some configurations
did not properly handle invalid OPEN messages. An attacker in control
of a configured peer could use this to cause a denial of service
(infinite loop). (CVE-2018-5381)

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package version:
Ubuntu 17.10:
quagga 1.1.1-3ubuntu0.2
