Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: Fix invalid read while copying bat_iv.bcast_own
Date: Sun, 29 Nov 2015 01:48:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1448758137-21202-1-git-send-email-sven@narfation.org> (raw)

batadv_iv_ogm_orig_del_if removes a part of the bcast_own which previously
belonged to the now removed interface. This is done by copying all data
which comes before the removed interface and then appending all the data
which comes after the removed interface.

The address calculation for the position of the data which comes after the
removed interface assumed that the bat_iv.bcast_own is a pointer to a
single byte datatype. But it is a pointer to unsigned long and thus the
calculated position was wrong off factor sizeof(unsigned long).
