There is an improper check for valid message size, which may lead to
stack overflow and buffer leaks to log when a large message is received.
Thanks to Daniel McCarney for bugreport and analysis.
Route flags are mosty internal state of rtable, they are not significant
to whether a route has changed. With the old code, all routes received as
a part of enhanced route refresh are always re-announced to other peers
due to change in REF_STALE.
One of previous workarounds for phantom route avoidance breaks export
counters by expanding sending of spurious withdraws, which are send when
we are not sure whether we have advertised that routes in the past.
If not, then export counter is decreased, but it was not increased
before, so it overflows under zero.
The patch fixes that by sending spurious withdraws, but not counting them
on export counter. That may lead to error in the other direction, but
that happens only as a race condition (i.e., in normal operation filters
return proper values about old route export state).
The earlier fix loosen conditions for not running filters on old
route when deciding about route propagation to a protocol to avoid
issues with ghost routes in some race conditions.
Unfortunately, the fix also caused back-propagation of withdraws. For
regular updates, back-propagation is prevented in import_control hooks,
but these are not called on withdraws. For them, import_control hooks
are called on old routes instead, changing (old, NULL) notification
to (NULL, NULL), which is ignored. By not calling export processing
in some cases, the withdraw is not ignored and is back-propagated.
This patch fixes that by contract conditions so the earlier fix is not
applied to back-propagated updates.
FreeBSD silently changes TTL to 1 when MSG_DONTROUTE is used, even when
it is explicitly set to another value. That breaks TTL security sockets,
including BFD which always uses TTL 255. Bad FreeBSD!
In some circumstances (old LSA flushed but not acknowledged and not
removed) origination of a new LSA may wrongly triggers LSA collision
code. The patch fixes that.
Thanks to Asbjorn Mikkelsen for the bugreport and @mdelagueronniere
for the original patch.
Fix crash during reconfiguration of OSPF config with vlinks. When vlink
is reconfigured, a generic iface-reconfiguration code is used, which in
one place supposes that it is running on a regular iface.
Thanks to Cybertinus for a bugreport.
Neighbor entries for static ECMP routes were not cleaned up during
reconfigure and pointed to the old instances, which leads to crash
after reconfigure.
Thanks to Vladimir Osmolovskiy for the bugreport.
Most protocols in IPv6 mode use link-local source addresses and expect
that there is one on each active interface. The old code depended on
assumption that if there is some IPv6 address on iface, there is also an
IPv6 link-local address on that iface (added by kernel when the iface
went up). Unfortunately, that is not generally true, as a configured
global address sometimes ceases to be tentative (finishes DOD) before
a link-local address on the same iface. In such case a protocol iface
(namely RAdv and Babel) is activated, but fails to found link-local
address and stays in failed state.
The patch fixes that by tracking 'primary' IPv6 link-local address,
sending iface restart notifications when it changes and making
protocols ignore iface-up notifications when no such address is
selected for an iface.
Missing argument in MTU change trace message can crash bird when MTU
change happens and trace messages are active.
Thanks to Alexander Velkov for the bugreport.
The new MRT protocol is responsible for periodic RIB table dumps in the
MRT format (RFC 6396). Also the existing code for BGP4MP MRT dumps is
refactored and splitted between BGP to MRT protocols, will be more
integrated into MRT in the future.
Example:
protocol mrt {
table "*";
filename "%N_%F_%T.mrt";
period 60;
}
It is partially based on the old MRT code from Pavel Tvrdik.
BSD systems cannot use SO_DONTROUTE, because it does not work properly
with multicast packets (perhaps it tries to find iface based on multicast
group address). But we can use MSG_DONTROUTE sendmsg() flag for unicast
packets. Works on FreeBSD, is ignored on OpenBSD and is broken on NetBSD
(i guess due to integrated routing table and ARP table).
When use of LLGR is negotiated, handle hold timeout by LLGR instead of by
hard restart. Allow to configure whether BFD session down event should be
handled by GR/LLGR or by hard restart.
If export filter is changed during reconfiguration and a route disappears
between reconfiguration and refeed (e.g., if the route is a static route
also removed during the reconfiguration), the route is not withdrawn.
The issue was fixed for regular channels by an earlier patch. This patch
fixes the issue for channels in RA_ACCEPTED mode (first-pass-the-filter),
used by BGP with 'secondary' option.
If export filter is changed during reconfiguration and a route disappears
between reconfiguration and refeed (e.g., if the route is a static route
also removed during the reconfiguration), the route is not withdrawn.
The patch fixes that by adding tx reconfiguration timestamp.
