BGP: Validate length of Path Attribute records.
Bug 13741 showed a case where the BGP dissector's failure to validate the
length of the Path Attribute record allowed a pathological BGP UPDATE packet to
generate more than one million items in the protocol tree by repeatedly
dissecting certain segments of the packet.
It's easy enough to detect when the Path Attribute length cannot be valid, so
let's do so. When the condition arises, let's raise an Expert Info error in
the same style and format as used elsewhere in the same routine, and abandon
dissection of the Path Attributes list.
With this check in place, an incorrect length computation is revealed at a
callsite. This would only have prevented a small (less than 5 bytes) Path
Attribute from being dissected if it was at the very end of the Path Attributes
list, but the bounds checking added in this change makes this problem much more
apparent, so we fix the length computation while we're here.
Testing Done: Built wireshark on Linux amd64. Using bgp.pcap from the Sample
Captures page on the wiki, verified that the dissection of the UPDATE
packets were unaltered by this fix. Using the capture attached to bug 13741
(clusterfuzz-testcase-minimized-6689222578667520.pcap), verified that the
packet no longer triggers the "too many items" exception, instead we see
an Expert Info for each oversized Path Attribute length, and eventually an
exception for "length of contained item exceeds length of containing item".
30,000 iterations of fuzz test with bgp.pcap as input, and many iterations
of randpkt-test too. Crafted a packet with a 3-byte ATOMIC_AGGREGATE Path
Attribute at the end of the Path Attributes list; Before this change, an
exception is raised during dissection, but after this change it is dissected
correctly.
