Hello

As our stable-proposed-updates policy demands a bug report, I create
one based on the below mail which I got from one of the Quagga
maintainers. Updated packages are build and will soon be uploaded.

bye,

Betreff: Quagga version in wheezy & squeeze-backports


Hi Christian, Hi Florian,


looking through the various distribution's Quagga packages, I noticed
you are shipping 0.99.21 without the thread_cancel_event fix applied.

This makes ospfd completely unusable.  Without the patch, ospfd will
crash randomly when a neighbor goes down.  (If required, this might be
considered a DoS security issue.)

The patch is up at:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/quagga.git/commit/?h=stable/0.99.21&id=aaa964a8f861d5cd68723adc27236548f3f05713
