Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
batman-adv: reject oversized global TT response buffers<br />
<br />
batadv_tt_prepare_tvlv_global_data() builds the allocation length for a<br />
global TT response in 16-bit temporaries. When a remote originator<br />
advertises a large enough global TT, the TT payload length plus the VLAN<br />
header offset can exceed 65535 and wrap before kmalloc().<br />
<br />
The full-table response path still uses the original TT payload length when<br />
it fills tt_change, so the wrapped allocation is too small and<br />
batadv_tt_prepare_tvlv_global_data() writes past the end of the heap object<br />
before the later packet-size check runs.<br />
<br />
Fix this by rejecting TT responses whose TVLV value length cannot fit in<br />
the 16-bit TVLV payload length field.
