  - Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol implementations may improperly determine Link State Advertisement
    (LSA) recency for LSAs with MaxSequenceNumber. According to RFC 2328 section 13.1, for two instances of
    the same LSA, recency is determined by first comparing sequence numbers, then checksums, and finally
    MaxAge. In a case where the sequence numbers are the same, the LSA with the larger checksum is considered
    more recent, and will not be flushed from the Link State Database (LSDB). Since the RFC does not
    explicitly state that the values of links carried by a LSA must be the same when prematurely aging a self-
    originating LSA with MaxSequenceNumber, it is possible in vulnerable OSPF implementations for an attacker
    to craft a LSA with MaxSequenceNumber and invalid links that will result in a larger checksum and thus a
    'newer' LSA that will not be flushed from the LSDB. Propagation of the crafted LSA can result in the
    erasure or alteration of the routing tables of routers within the routing domain, creating a denial of
    service condition or the re-routing of traffic on the network. CVE-2017-3224 has been reserved for Quagga
    and downstream implementations (SUSE, openSUSE, and Red Hat packages). (CVE-2017-3224)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
