Critical Debian advisory DSA 415-1 reveals DoS vulnerabilities in zebra with recommended resolutions for updates.
Two vulnerabilities were discovered in zebra, both resulting in DoS.

Summary

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in zebra, an IP routing daemon:

CAN-2003-0795 - a bug in the telnet CLI could allow a remote attacker
to cause a zebra process to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

CAN-2003-0858 - netlink messages sent by other users (rather than the
kernel) would be accepted, leading to a denial of service.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 0.92a-5woody2.

The zebra package has been obsoleted in the unstable distribution by
GNU Quagga, where this problem was fixed in version 0.96.4x-4.

We recommend that you update your zebra package.
