A crafted BGP UPDATE with a malformed path attribute length field causes
bgpd to dump up to 65535 bytes of application memory and send it as the
data field in a BGP NOTIFY message, which is truncated to 4075 bytes
after accounting for protocol headers. After reading a malformed length
field, a NOTIFY is generated that is supposed to contain the problematic
data, but the malformed length field is inadvertently used to compute
how much data we send.
