Subject: [PATCH net 5/9] batman-adv: tt: prevent TVLV OOB check overflow
Date: Wed,  8 Jul 2026 11:18:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708091821.314516-6-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708091821.314516-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

A TT unicast TVLV contains the number of VLANs stored in it. This number is
an u16 and gets multiplied by the size of the struct
batadv_tvlv_tt_vlan_data (8 bytes). The size can therefore overflow the u16
used to store the tt_vlan_len. All additional safety checks to prevent
out-of-bounds access of the TVLV buffer are invalid due to this overflow.

Using size_t prevents this overflow and ensures that the safety checks
compare against the actual buffer requirements.
