Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCHv2] batman-adv: fix NULL pointer deref in batadv_find_best_neighbor
Date: Thu, 26 Dec 2013 18:57:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1388080621-15040-1-git-send-email-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
If there is no best neighbor, don't dereference the NULL pointer. Try to
acquire the neighbor node right in the loop instead. There also was a
logic bug, finding the worst instead of the best neighbor.
Introduced by 9bb33b8d88e318c4879d37d06ad28e3e018b9036 ("batman-adv:
split tq information in neigh_node struct")
