Define some constant offsets for CALL_REQUEST based on the description
at &lt;http://www.techfest.com/networking/wan/x25plp.htm&gt; and the
definition of ROSE as using 10-digit (5-byte) addresses.  Use them
consistently.  Validate all implicit and explicit facilities lengths.
Validate the address length byte rather than either trusting or
assuming its value.

<title>ROSE: prevent heap corruption with bad facilities</title>

<content type='text'>
When parsing the FAC_NATIONAL_DIGIS facilities field, it's possible for
a remote host to provide more digipeaters than expected, resulting in
heap corruption.  Check against ROSE_MAX_DIGIS to prevent overflows, and
abort facilities parsing on failure.

Additionally, when parsing the FAC_CCITT_DEST_NSAP and
FAC_CCITT_SRC_NSAP facilities fields, a remote host can provide a length
of less than 10, resulting in an underflow in a memcpy size, causing a
kernel panic due to massive heap corruption.  A length of greater than
20 results in a stack overflow of the callsign array.  Abort facilities
parsing on these invalid length values.

With previous patch, rose_get_neigh() routine
investigates the full list of neighbor nodes
until it finds or not an already connected node whether
it is called locally or through a level 3 transit frame.
If no routes are opened through an adjacent connected node
then a classical connect request is attempted.

Then there is no more reason for an extra loop such
as the one removed by this patch.

<title>ROSE: rose AX25 packet routing improvement</title>

<id>c5d8b24ad0a9a45e163a6769b4eb7e7f1fb9aa7f</id>
<content type='text'>
FPAC AX25 packet application is using Linux kernel ROSE
routing skills in order to connect or send packets to remote stations
knowing their ROSE address via a network of interconnected nodes.

Each FPAC node has a ROSE routing table that Linux ROSE module is
looking at each time a ROSE frame is relayed by the node or when
a connect request to a neighbor node is received.

A previous patch improved the system time response by looking at
already established routes each time the system was looking for a
route to relay a frame. If a neighbor node routing the destination
address was already connected, then the frame would be sent
through him. If not, a connection request would be issued.

The present patch extends the same routing capability to a connect
request asked by a user locally connected into an FPAC node.
Without this patch, a connect request was not well handled unless it
was directed to an immediate connected neighbor of the local node.

Implemented at a number of ROSE FPAC node stations, the present patch
improved dramatically FPAC ROSE routing time response and efficiency.

Just use explicit casts, since we really can't change the
types of structures exported to userspace which have been
around for 15 years or so.

two locks are held within the body of the function.
