From 2d8826a2d3657cea66fb0370f9e521575a673871 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 09:01:34 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: dat: handle forward allocation error batadv_dat_forward_data() calls pskb_copy_for_clone() to duplicate an skb for each DHT candidate, but does not check the return value before passing it to batadv_send_skb_prepare_unicast_4addr(). That function dereferences the skb unconditionally, so a failed allocation triggers a NULL pointer dereference. Skip forwarding to the current DHT candidate on allocation failure.
