CVE-2003-0795 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The vty layer in Quagga before 0.96.4, and Zebra 0.93b and earlier, does not verify that sub-negotiation is taking place when processing the SE marker, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed telnet command to the telnet CLI port, which may trigger a null dereference.. EPSS estimates a 8.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
