CVE-2026-72226
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: tt: prevent TVLV OOB check overflow
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.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
