RHBA-2010:0420 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated quagga packages that fix a bug are now available.

Description

Quagga manages the TCP/IP based routing protocol. It takes multi-server and
multi-thread approaches to resolve the current complexity of the Internet.
Quagga supports BGP4, BGP4+, OSPFv2, OSPFv3, RIPv1, RIPv2, and RIPng.
Quagga is intended to be used as a Route Server and a Route Reflector.

This update fixes the following bug:

• several declarations were missing from zebra.h, including the

zebra_route_string() function. As a consequence, if the "show ip protocol"
command was issued to a running zebra sever, zebra segfaulted rather than
present the two column "Protocol : route-map" table. This update adds the
missing declarations to zebra.h and issuing the "show ip protocal" command
now works as expected. (BZ #576903)

All quagga users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
this issue.
