Subject: [PATCH net 1/6] batman-adv: retrieve ethhdr after potential skb realloc on RX
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 15:44:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630134430.85786-2-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260630134430.85786-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

pskb_may_pull() in batadv_interface_rx() could reallocate the buffer behind
the skb. Variables which were pointing to the old buffer need to be
reassigned to avoid an use-after-free.

This was done correctly for the VLAN header but missed for the ethernet
header which is later used for the TT and AP isolation handling.

Fixes: c78296665c3d ("batman-adv: Check skb size before using encapsulated ETH+VLAN header")
