If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Sat Jan 17 18:12:21 PST 2015 From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 20 Dec 2014 13:48:56 +0100 Subject: batman-adv: Unify fragment size calculation From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0402e444cd199389b7fe47be68a67b817e09e097 ] The fragmentation code was replaced in 610bfc6bc99bc83680d190ebc69359a05fc7f605 ("batman-adv: Receive fragmented packets and merge") by an implementation which can handle up to 16 fragments of a packet. The packet is prepared for the split in fragments by the function batadv_frag_send_packet and the actual split is done by batadv_frag_create. Both functions calculate the size of a fragment themself. But their calculation differs because batadv_frag_send_packet also subtracts ETH_HLEN. Therefore, the check in batadv_frag_send_packet "can a full fragment can be created?" may return true even when batadv_frag_create cannot create a full fragment. The function batadv_frag_create doesn't check the size of the skb before splitting it and therefore might try to create a larger fragment than the remaining buffer. This creates an integer underflow and an invalid len is given to skb_split. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
