Heya,

Because of the recent events, we've decided to disable ospfapi and
ospfclient in quagga. It has been decided to disable those features in
all supported Fedora releases.

I am not aware of any consumers of APIs in question within Fedora.
However some 3rd-party software might be affected. Please note that for
the time being, if you decide to recompile srpm and continue to use
those features you are potentially vulnerable.

Please speak up if you are package maintainer and your package depends
on those APIs. Hopefully nobody cares for those awkward "features", if
that is the case I plan to submit builds on 2013-07-25 and release
updates accordingly.

Thanks,

Michal Sekletar
