[PATCH 1/3] batman-adv: Do not send uninitialized TT changes

From: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
Date: 2024-12-10 13:50:37
Also in: batman
Subsystem: batman advanced, the rest · Maintainers: Marek Lindner, Simon Wunderlich, Antonio Quartulli, Sven Eckelmann, Linus Torvalds

From: Remi Pommarel <redacted>

The number of TT changes can be less than initially expected in
batadv_tt_tvlv_container_update() (changes can be removed by
batadv_tt_local_event() in ADD+DEL sequence between reading
tt_diff_entries_num and actually iterating the change list under lock).

Thus tt_diff_len could be bigger than the actual changes size that need
to be sent. Because batadv_send_my_tt_response sends the whole
packet, uninitialized data can be interpreted as TT changes on other
nodes leading to weird TT global entries on those nodes such as:

 * 00:00:00:00:00:00   -1 [....] (  0) 88:12:4e:ad:7e:ba (179) (0x45845380)
 * 00:00:00:00:78:79 4092 [.W..] (  0) 88:12:4e:ad:7e:3c (145) (0x8ebadb8b)

All of the above also applies to OGM tvlv container buffer's tvlv_len.

Remove the extra allocated space to avoid sending uninitialized TT
changes in batadv_send_my_tt_response() and batadv_v_ogm_send_softif().
