zebra: fix sockaddr_dl length assumptions (BZ#737)
Quagga makes bad assumptions about sockaddr_dl (on NetBSD, but possibly on other systems as well). Particularly, sizeof(struct sockaddr_dl) returns a size that does not include the full sdl_data field, leading to not enough data being copied. This breaks IPv6 RAs in particular, as a broken mac address from sockaddr_dl will be included in the packets. From: Matthias-Christian Ott <ott@mirix.org> Tested-by: Uwe Toenjes <6bone@6bone.informatik.uni-leipzig.de> [further simplified + more comments] Signed-off-by: David Lamparter <equinox@opensourcerouting.org>
