CVE-2026-64089
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: tt: fix negative lastchangesetlen
batadvpivtt::lastchangesetlen len was declared as s16, but the field is
never intended to hold a negative value. When a value greater than 32767 is
assigned, it wraps to a negative signed integer.
In batadvsendmyttresponse(), lastchangesetlen is temporarily widened
to s32. The incorrectly negative s16 value propagates into the s32, causing
batadvttpreparetvlvlocal_data() to allocate a full sized buffer but
populates only a small portion of it with the collected changeset. All
remaining bits are kept uninitialized.
Using an u16 avoids this type confusion and ensures that no (negative) sign
extension is performed in batadvsendmyttresponse().
