commit: 2c995ff892313009e336ecc8ec3411022f5b1c39 From: Antonio Quartulli <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2012 09:26:39 +0000 Subject: batman-adv: fix skb->data assignment
skb_linearize(skb) possibly rearranges the skb internal data and then changes the skb->data pointer value. For this reason any other pointer in the code that was assigned skb->data before invoking skb_linearise(skb) must be re-assigned. In the current tt_query message handling code this is not done and therefore, in case of skb linearization, the pointer used to handle the packet header ends up in pointing to free'd memory.
