Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCHv2 2/2] batctl: Don't leak information through uninitialized packet fields
Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2012 11:56:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1340877413-18434-2-git-send-email-sven@narfation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1340877413-18434-1-git-send-email-sven@narfation.org>
The reserved fields in batman-adv packets are not set to a constant value. The
content of these memory regions is leaked unintentionally to the network.
This regression was introduced in ee319368e5d6385458345731e519640889c177c4
