CVE-2026-72234 in Linux
Riassunto
di MITRE • 15/08/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: access unicast_ttvn skb->data only after skb realloc
The pskb_may_pull() called by batadv_get_vid() could reallocate the buffer behind the skb. Variables which were pointing to the old buffer need to be reassigned to avoid an use-after-free.
This was done correctly for the ethernet header but missed for the unicast_packet pointer.
