Subject: [PATCH net 1/9] batman-adv: ensure minimal ethernet header on TX
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 11:18:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708091821.314516-2-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708091821.314516-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
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.
