Dear BIRD users, we just released two new versions - 1.6.4 and 2.0.2. There is an important security bugfix in both. Upgrade is highly recommended. Version 2.0.2 (2018-03-22) o Source-specific routing support for Linux kernel and Babel o BGP: New option 'disable after cease' o Filter: Allow silent filter execution o Filter: Fixed stack overflow in BGP mask expressions. o Several bugfixes Notes: Syntax prefix:netmask for IPv4 prefixes was dropped. Just use prefix/pxlen. Version 1.6.4 (2018-03-22) o Basic VRF support o Simplified autoconf scripts o BGP: Shutdown communication (RFC 8203) o BGP: Allow exchanging LOCAL_PREF with eBGP peers o BGP: Allow to specify interface for regular sessions o BGP: New option 'disable after cease' o RAdv: Support for more specific routes (RFC 4191) o RAdv: Proper handling of prefix retraction o Filter: Allow silent filter execution o Filter: Fixed stack overflow in BGP mask expressions. o Several bug fixes Ondrej

Note that the security issue is limited to DoS (crash) triggerable from birdc client in restricted mode (which is supposed to be be safe). For users that do not use the birdc client restricted mode as a security feature, the issue does not have security ramifications. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
Hello Ondrej, Thx for info. When is it expected 1.6.4 to be added to Debian (and others) repo? Of course we can build from source but it helps keeping everything together.

Adding to this, do you have plans to add 2.0 releases to the Debian repo at bird.network.cz? :) -Toke
+1. Can we have official packages for Debian? CentOS and Fedora are there already. Kind regards, Aris Piotr Marciniak wrote: Hello Ondrej, Thx for info.
