Hi, We have a port of bird for a powerpc based Znyx (http://www.znyx.com) ZX6000 ATCA Layer 3 Switch.
We have discovered that the current mainline cores while processing rt-attr.c function rta_lookup(), we have traced this back to a uninitialized stack variable in linux/netlink.c function nl_parse_route(). The addition of memset(&ra, 0, sizeof(ra)); Just after the creation of ra, was enough to prevent the crash. Steve PS Apologize for not attaching a patch, but our code tree has many unwanted changes port to ZX6000 which is stuck on gcc-2.95.3 and glibc-2.1.3 ======================= Steve Atkinson CEng BEng(hon) MIET Teligent Ltd 2 Kings Hill Avenue West Malling Kent ME19 4AQ Telephone: +44(0) 1732 879 655 Fax: +44 (0) 1732 879601 [YourHomePhoneIsAnywhere] The information in this email is confidential.
