Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y] batman-adv: ensure minimal ethernet header on TX
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 15:34:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720133430.437468-1-sven@narfation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026072042-pretext-impound-67fc@gregkh>
commit 49df66b7993c80b80c7eb9a84ba5b3410c8296a0 upstream.
As documented in commit 8bd67ebb50c0 ("net: bridge: xmit: make sure we have
at least eth header len bytes"), it is possible by for a local user with
eBPF TC hook access to attach a tc filter which truncates the packet and
redirects to an batadv interface. But the code assumes that at least
ETH_HLEN bytes are available and thus might read outside of the available
buffer.
The batadv_interface_tx() must therefore always check itself if enough data
is available for the ethernet header and don't rely on min_header_len.
