In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

batman-adv: ensure minimal ethernet header on TX

As documented in commit 8bd67ebb50c0 (net: bridge: xmit: make sure we have at least eth header len bytes), it is possible by for a local user with eBPF TC hook access to attach a tc filter which truncates the packet and redirects to an batadv interface. But the code assumes that at least ETH_HLEN bytes are available and thus might read outside of the available buffer.

The batadv_interface_tx() must therefore always check itself if enough data is available for the ethernet header and dont rely on min_header_len.
