This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Hello msekleta, Could you please fix this soon?
(In reply to pjp from comment #4) > Could you please fix this soon? If I understand upstream discussion correctly, they were not able to reproduce the issue. Also it seems like the possible reproducer requires network topology where juniper router is directly adjacent to Linux box running quagga. Sorry I just don't have resources (hardware) needed to even try reproducing this. Hence I can't tell when this gets fixed. Of course if upstream or someone else comes up with working patch I will be more than happy to apply it.
Hello Michal, Thank you so much for the details. It's been more than 2 years since the issue was found and reported upstream. Since it remains unconfirmed today and a patch is not expected in the near future, it might be good to close this bug as CLOSE DEFERRED with due comments about it. Thank you.
I think we should keep this one open given this is a security issue. And if fix appears in the future we don't have to reopen or create new bug then.
(In reply to Michal Sekletar from comment #7) > I think we should keep this one open given this is a security issue. And if > fix appears in the future we don't have to reopen or create new bug then. You expect a fix would be available in the near future, a month? If so, then it's okay to keep it open. If not, we need not leave it open indefinitely, it's been already more than 2 years. In-fact, such cases should be CLOSE DEFERRED, provided there is reason to believe that a patch would be available in the near future.
I don't expect fix to appear any time soon. I don't see why should I close this bug. I as a maintainer like that bug is open because it pops up in my searches. Please don't close this bug.
Hello msekleta, You plan to fix this soon?
No plan really. Sorry.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora23

Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
