batman-adv: bla: put backbone reference on failed claim hash insert

2026-05-17T15:16:33+00:00

commit ba9d20ee9076dac32c371116bacbe72480eb356c upstream. When batadv_bla_add_claim() fails to insert a new claim into the hash, it leaked a reference to the backbone_gw for which the claim was intended. Call batadv_backbone_gw_put() on the error path to release the reference and avoid leaking the backbone_gw object.

batman-adv: bla: only purge non-released claims

2026-05-17T15:16:33+00:00

commit cf6b604011591865ae39ac82de8978c1120d17af upstream. When batadv_bla_purge_claims() goes through the list of claims, it is only traversing the hash list with an rcu_read_lock(). Due to a potential parallel batadv_claim_put(), it can happen that it encounters a claim which was actually in the process of being released+freed by batadv_claim_release(). In this case, backbone_gw is set to NULL before the delayed RCU kfree is started. Calling batadv_bla_claim_get_backbone_gw() is then no longer allowed because it would cause a NULL-ptr derefence. To avoid this, only claims with a valid reference counter must be purged. All others are already taken care of.

batman-adv: bla: prevent use-after-free when deleting claims

2026-05-17T15:16:33+00:00

commit 4ae1709a314060a196981b344610d023ea841e57 upstream. When batadv_bla_del_backbone_claims() removes all claims for a backbone, it does this by dropping the link entry in the hash list. This list entry itself was one of the references which need to be dropped at the same time via batadv_claim_put(). But the batadv_claim_put() must not be done before the last access to the claim object in this function. Otherwise the claim might be freed already by the batadv_claim_release() function before the list entry was dropped.

batman-adv: tp_meter: fix tp_num leak on kmalloc failure

2026-05-17T15:16:32+00:00

commit ce425dd05d0fe7594930a0fb103634f35ac47bb6 upstream. When batadv_tp_start() or batadv_tp_init_recv() fail to allocate a new tp_vars object, the previously incremented bat_priv->tp_num counter is never decremented. This causes tp_num to drift upward on each allocation failure. Since only BATADV_TP_MAX_NUM sessions can be started and the count is never reduced for these failed allocations, it causes to an exhaustion of throughput meter sessions. In worst case, no new throughput meter session can be started until the mesh interface is removed. The error handling must decrement tp_num releasing the lock and aborting the creation of an throughput meter session Cc: stable@kernel.org Fixes: 33a3bb4a3345 ("batman-adv: throughput meter implementation") Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

batman-adv: stop caching unowned originator pointers in BAT IV

2026-05-17T15:16:32+00:00

commit f03e8583532941b07761c5429de7d50766fa3110 upstream. BAT IV keeps the last-hop neighbor address in each neigh_node, but some paths also cache an originator pointer derived from a temporary lookup. That pointer is not owned by the neigh_node and may no longer refer to a live originator entry after purge handling runs. Stop storing the auxiliary originator pointer in the BAT IV neighbor state. When BAT IV needs the neighbor originator data, resolve it from the stored neighbor address and drop the reference again after use.

batman-adv: stop tp_meter sessions during mesh teardown

2026-05-17T15:16:32+00:00

commit 3d3cf6a7314aca4df0a6dde28ce784a2a30d0166 upstream. TP meter sessions remain linked on bat_priv->tp_list after the netlink request has already finished. When the mesh interface is removed, batadv_mesh_free() currently tears down the mesh without first draining these sessions. A running sender thread or a late incoming tp_meter packet can then keep processing against a mesh instance which is already shutting down. Synchronize tp_meter with the mesh lifetime by stopping all active sessions from batadv_mesh_free() and waiting for sender threads to exit before teardown continues.

batman-adv: fix integer overflow on buff_pos

commit 0799e5943611006b346b8813c7daf7dd5aa26bfd upstream. Fixing an integer overflow present in batadv_iv_ogm_send_to_if. The size check is done using the int type in batadv_iv_ogm_aggr_packet whereas the buff_pos variable uses the s16 type. This could lead to an out-of-bound read.

batman-adv: hold claim backbone gateways by reference

2026-04-06T13:42:29+00:00

batadv_bla_add_claim() can replace claim->backbone_gw and drop the old gateway's last reference while readers still follow the pointer. The netlink claim dump path dereferences claim->backbone_gw->orig and takes claim->backbone_gw->crc_lock without pinning the underlying backbone gateway. batadv_bla_check_claim() still has the same naked pointer access pattern. Reuse batadv_bla_claim_get_backbone_gw() in both readers so they operate on a stable gateway reference until the read-side work is complete. This keeps the dump and claim-check paths aligned with the lifetime rules introduced for the other BLA claim readers.
