Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
batman-adv: tt: fix negative last_changeset_len<br />
<br />
batadv_piv_tt::last_changeset_len len was declared as s16, but the field is<br />
never intended to hold a negative value. When a value greater than 32767 is<br />
assigned, it wraps to a negative signed integer.<br />
<br />
In batadv_send_my_tt_response(), last_changeset_len is temporarily widened<br />
to s32. The incorrectly negative s16 value propagates into the s32, causing<br />
batadv_tt_prepare_tvlv_local_data() to allocate a full sized buffer but<br />
populates only a small portion of it with the collected changeset. All<br />
remaining bits are kept uninitialized.<br />
<br />
Using an u16 avoids this type confusion and ensures that no (negative) sign<br />
extension is performed in batadv_send_my_tt_response().
