Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: fix OOB read/write in network-coding decode
batadv_nc_skb_decode_packet() trusts coded_len and checks only against
skb->len. XOR starts at sizeof(struct batadv_unicast_packet), reducing
payload headroom, and the source skb length is not verified, allowing an
out-of-bounds read and a small out-of-bounds write.
Validate that coded_len fits within the payload area of both destination
and source sk_buffs before XORing.
