In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: tvlv: reject oversized TVLV packets
batadv_tvlv_container_ogm_append() builds a TVLV packet section from
the tvlv.container_list. The total size of this section is computed by
batadv_tvlv_container_list_size(), which sums the sizes of all registered
containers.
The return type and accumulator in batadv_tvlv_container_list_size() were
u16. If the accumulated size exceeds U16_MAX, the value wraps around,
causing the subsequent allocation in batadv_tvlv_container_ogm_append()
to be undersized. The memcpy-style copy that follows would then write
beyond the end of the allocated buffer, corrupting kernel memory.
Fix this by widening the return type of batadv_tvlv_container_list_size()
to size_t. In batadv_tvlv_container_ogm_append(), check the computed length
against U16_MAX before proceeding, and bail out as if the allocation had
failed when the limit is exceeded.
