Description

A flaw was found in the batman-adv tp_meter module of the Linux kernel. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted acknowledgment (ACK) packet to a node configured as a receiver in an ongoing tp_meter session. This could lead to the use of uninitialized sender variables, resulting in undefined behavior and potentially a denial of service.

Mitigation

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
