Subject: [PATCH net 4/6] batman-adv: dat: acquire ARP hw source only after skb realloc
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 15:44:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630134430.85786-5-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260630134430.85786-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

The pskb_may_pull() called by batadv_get_vid() could reallocate the buffer
behind the skb. Variables which were pointing to the old buffer need to be
reassigned to avoid an use-after-free.
