batadv_tp_sender_shutdown() unconditionally decrements the "sending"
atomic counter. If multiple paths (e.g. timeout, user cancel, and
normal finish) call this function, the counter can underflow to -1.
Since the sender logic treats any non-zero value as "still sending",
a negative value causes the sender kthread to loop indefinitely.
This leads to a use-after-free when the interface is removed while
the zombie thread is still active.
Fix this by using atomic_xchg() to ensure the counter only transitions
from 1 to 0 once.

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
The receiver shutdown timer handler, batadv_tp_receiver_shutdown(), is
responsible for releasing the tp_vars reference it holds. However, the
existing logic for coordinating this release with batadv_tp_stop_all() was
flawed.
timer_shutdown_sync() guarantees the timer will not fire again after it
returns, but it returns non-zero only when the timer was pending at the
time of the call. If the timer had already expired (and
batadv_tp_stop_all() would unsucessfully try to rearm itself),
batadv_tp_stop_all() skips its batadv_tp_vars_put(), and
batadv_tp_receiver_shutdown() fails to put its own reference as well.
Fix this by introducing a new atomic variable receiving that is set to 1
when the receiver is initialized and cleared atomically with atomic_xchg()
by whichever side claims it first. Only the side that observes the
transition from 1 to 0 is responsible for releasing the tp_vars timer
reference, eliminating the uncertainty.

The commit 3a359bf5c61d ("batman-adv: reject oversized global TT response
buffers") added a check to ensure that a global return buffer size can be
stored in an u16. The same buffer handling also exists for the local data
buffer but was not touched.
A similar check should be also be in place for the local TVLV buffer. It
doesn't have the similar attack surface because it is only generated from
locally discovered MAC addresses but the dynamic nature could still cause
temporarily to large buffers.

batadv_orig_node::tt_buff_len was declared as s16, but the field is never
intended to hold a negative value. When a value greater than 32767 is
assigned, it wraps to a negative signed integer.
In batadv_send_other_tt_response(), tt_buff_len is temporarily widened to
s32. The incorrectly negative s16 value propagates into the s32, causing
batadv_tt_prepare_tvlv_global_data() to allocate a full sized buffer but
populates only a small portion of it with the collected changeset. All
remaining bits are kept uninitialized.
Using an u16 avoids this type confusion and ensures that no (negative) sign
extension is performed in batadv_send_other_tt_response().

The local TT based TVLV is generated by first checking the number of VLANs
which have at least one TT entry. A new buffer with the correct size for
the VLANs is then allocated. Only then, the list of VLANs s used to fill
the VLAN entries in the buffer. During this time, the meshif_vlan_list_lock
is held. But the actual number of TT entries of each VLAN can still
increase during this time - just not the number of VLANs in the list.
But the prefilter used in the buffer size calculation might still cause an
increase of the number of VLANs which need to be stored. Simply because a
VLAN might now suddenly have at least one entry when it had none in the
pre-alloc check - and then needs to occupy space which was not allocated.
It is better to overestimate the buffer size at the beginning and then fill
the buffer only with the VLANs which are not empty.

The commit 16116dac2339 ("batman-adv: prevent TT request storms by not
sending inconsistent TT TLVLs") added checks to the local (direct) TT
response code. But the response can also be done indirectly by another node
using the global TT state. To avoid such inconsistency states reported in
the original fix, also avoid sending empty VLANs for replies from the
global TT state.

The helpers to prepare the buffers for the local and global TT based
replies are trying to sum up all TT entries which can be found for each
VLAN. In theory, this sum can be too big for an u16 and therefore overflow.
A too small buffer would then be allocated for the TVLV.
The too small buffer will be handled gracefully by
batadv_tt_tvlv_generate() and is not causing a buffer overflow - just a
truncated reply. But this overflow shouldn't have happened in the first and
the too small buffer should never have been allocated when an overflow was
detected.

batman-adv keeps a running payload length for queued fragments and uses it
to validate a fragment chain before reassembly.
That accounting currently allows the accumulated fragment length to be
truncated during updates. As a result, malformed fragment chains can
bypass the intended validation and drive reassembly with inconsistent
length state, leading to a local denial of service.
Fix the accounting by storing the accumulated length in a length-typed
field and rejecting update overflows before the existing validation logic
runs.
The fix was verified against the original reproducer and against valid
fragment reassembly paths.

batadv_gw_node_free() removes the gateway list entries during mesh teardown,
but it does not clear the currently selected gateway. This leaves stale
gateway state behind across cleanup and can break a later mesh recreation.
Clear bat_priv->gw.curr_gw before walking the gateway list so the selected
gateway reference is dropped as part of teardown.

batadv_dat_forward_data() calls pskb_copy_for_clone() to duplicate an skb
for each DHT candidate, but does not check the return value before passing
it to batadv_send_skb_prepare_unicast_4addr(). That function dereferences
the skb unconditionally, so a failed allocation triggers a NULL pointer
dereference.
Skip forwarding to the current DHT candidate on allocation failure.

batadv_tp_recv_ack() and batadv_tp_stop() are only valid for tp_vars in the
BATADV_TP_SENDER role. When called with a BATADV_TP_RECEIVER role, it
proceeds to read sender-only members that were never initialized, leading
to undefined behavior.
This can be triggered when a node that is currently acting as a receiver in
an ongoing tp_meter session receives a malicious ACK packet.
Guard against this by checking tp_vars->role immediately after the
lookup and bailing out if it is not BATADV_TP_SENDER, before any of
those members are accessed.

batadv_frag_skb_buffer() is called by batadv_batman_skb_recv() when a
BATADV_UNICAST_FRAG packet is received. Once all fragments are collected
and the packet is reassembled, batadv_recv_frag_packet() calls
batadv_batman_skb_recv() again to process the defragmented payload.
A malicious sender can craft a BATADV_UNICAST_FRAG packet whose reassembled
payload is itself a BATADV_UNICAST_FRAG packet (matryoshka-style nesting).
Each nesting level recurses through batadv_batman_skb_recv() without bound,
growing the kernel stack until it is exhausted.
Since refragmentation or fragments in fragments are not actually allowed,
discard all packets which are still BATADV_UNICAST_FRAG packets after the
defragmentation process.

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
batadv_tp_sender_cleanup() was calling timer_delete_sync() followed by
timer_delete() to guard against the timer handler re-arming itself between
the two calls. This double-deletion hack relied on the sending status being
set to 0 to suppress re-arming.
Replace both calls with a single timer_shutdown_sync(). This function both
waits for any running timer callback to complete (like timer_delete_sync())
and permanently disarms the timer so it cannot be re-armed afterwards,
making re-arming prevention unconditional and self-documenting.
The re-arming property is also required because otherwise:
1. context 0 (batadv_tp_recv_ack()) checks in
batadv_tp_reset_sender_timer() if sending is still 1 -> it is
2. context 1 changes in batadv_tp_sender_shutdown() sending to 0 and in
this process forces the kthread to stop timer in
batadv_tp_sender_cleanup()
3. context 0 continues in batadv_tp_reset_sender_timer() and rearms the
timer -> but the reference for it is already gone
