Hello,
We are running few routers, all Slackware Linux, 64bit. The setup is
like this: router A is a gateway for whole network, speaking BGP on the
outside, OSPF on the inside. There are a few routers on the inside,
let's say B, C, D, ..., all of them are OSPF neighbors to A and each
other. Routers B, C, etc. are running bird 2.14.
I wanted to upgrade bird on router A from 1.6 to 2.14. As soon as new
bird started up on A, almost all of B, C, etc. started crashing. Today I
started to look into this. I found out I messed up the configuration on
router A, I didn't filter out all routes from BGP and all those prefixes
(IPv4 only, ~100k) were exported to OSPF. The bird on router A handled
it quite OK, but routers B, C, etc. segfaulted after few seconds of
exporting all those prefixes to kernel. And that happened repeatedly
after bird started again. And again..
In bird's log file I found nothing. In system log were 2 lines for each
segfault:
[Thu Feb 1 01:51:10 2024] bird[23724]: segfault at 7ffe0e092ff8 ip

I will try again to upgrade router A without all those prefixes exported
to OSPF, that should work I believe.
I am not good at this, but maybe someone could use this information to
find a bug somewhere in bird. Maybe I can help and try something with
the same failing setup?
Thanks
