I get a crash when running the tcpdump command in LIBBSD.  It is due to the
following structure



struct stp_bpdu_ {

    u_int8_t protocol_id[2];

    u_int8_t protocol_version;

    u_int8_t bpdu_type;

    u_int8_t flags;

    u_int8_t root_id[8];

    u_int8_t root_path_cost[4];

   u_int8_t bridge_id[8];

    u_int8_t port_id[2];

    u_int8_t message_age[2];

    u_int8_t max_age[2];

    u_int8_t hello_time[2];

    u_int8_t forward_delay[2];

    u_int8_t v1_length;

};



In the code, there is an access to the port_id field as follows:
EXTRACT_16BITS(&stp_bpdu->port_id).  EXTRACT_16BITS calls ntohs() .  Since
the address of “&stp_bpdu->port_id” is at an odd word (16 bit) boundary, an
exception is generated.  What is the correct way to fix this?  I was going
to update EXTRACT_16BITS to check for an odd boundary and fix it up before
calling ntohs().


There should be a bit in cp15 which determines is unaligned accesses are
enabled. Should be examples in other BSPs
