Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] batman-adv: retrieve ethhdr after potential skb realloc on RX
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 15:14:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720131459.69396-1-sven@narfation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026072056-gothic-untreated-85a2@gregkh>
commit 035e1fed892d3d06002a73ff73668f618a514644 upstream.
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: c6c8fea29769 ("net: Add batman-adv meshing protocol")
Fixes: c78296665c3d ("batman-adv: Check skb size before using encapsulated ETH+VLAN header")
[ move from mesh- to soft-interface.c ]
