Quagga contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered when a RIPv1 'SEND UPDATE' request is sent to the 'RIPd' service, even when it is configured to support RIPv2 only. This will also happen when the RIPv2-only service is configued to work with MD5 authentication. The vulnerability will disclose the service's RIP routing table, resulting in a loss of confidentiality.
