Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Fix overread in PREQ frame processing
Date: Sat,  9 May 2026 07:59:03 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260508225905.29998-1-masashi.honma@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <8f0a2488540f4a65ea4d837a06225a27a10cc305.camel@sipsolutions.net>

When the AF flag is enabled, hwmp_preq_frame_process() overreads target_addr
by 2 bytes. Since this occurs within the socket buffer, it does not read across
memory boundaries and therefore poses no security risk; however, we will fix it
as a precaution.

In this fix, a new function mesh_path_parse_request_frame() is established to
separate the implementation of frame format validation and the check for
unsupported features. This is intended to facilitate future work when
implementing the currently unsupported parts.
