commit: d2b6cc8e460494251442a877fcbc150faa175b4f From: Antonio Quartulli <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2012 22:21:28 +0200 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 poisoned memory. The packet is then dropped but the translation-table mechanism is corrupted.
