Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Fix overread in PREP frame processing
Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 08:41:42 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260509234143.101237-2-masashi.honma@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260509234143.101237-1-masashi.honma@gmail.com>

When the AF flag is enabled, hwmp_prep_frame_process() overreads orig_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_reply_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.
