Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] batman-adv: reject oversized global TT response buffers
Date: Wed,  8 Apr 2026 13:02:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408110255.976389-2-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260408110255.976389-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>

From: Ruide Cao <caoruide123@gmail.com>

batadv_tt_prepare_tvlv_global_data() builds the allocation length for a
global TT response in 16-bit temporaries. When a remote originator
advertises a large enough global TT, the TT payload length plus the VLAN
header offset can exceed 65535 and wrap before kmalloc().

The full-table response path still uses the original TT payload length when
it fills tt_change, so the wrapped allocation is too small and
batadv_tt_prepare_tvlv_global_data() writes past the end of the heap object
before the later packet-size check runs.

Fix this by rejecting TT responses whose TVLV value length cannot fit in
the 16-bit TVLV payload length field.

Fixes: 7ea7b4a14275 ("batman-adv: make the TT CRC logic VLAN specific")
