ZyXEL ZyWALL Quagga/Zebra Remote Root Vulnerability

The vulnerability in the Quagga/Zebra routing daemon, exists due to the fact that the appliance fails to change the password needed to login into the Quagga/Zebra daemon running on ports 2601, 2602 (Quagga/RIP) & 2604 (Quagga/OSPF) /TCP, even though the password of the appliance has been changed an attacker can still use the default password ‘zebra’ to log into the Quagga/Zebra service to view and manipulate the routing information etc. of the appliance.

Mitigation:

Change the default password of the Quagga/Zebra daemon and ensure that the password is changed whenever the appliance password is changed.
