From 32a6799255525d6ea4da0f7e9e0e521ad9560a46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2026 10:19:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: tvlv: enforce 2-byte alignment The fields of an aggregated OGM(v2) are accessed assuming (at least) 2-byte alignment, so a following OGM must start at an even offset. As the header length is even, an odd tvlv_len would misalign it and trigger unaligned accesses on strict-alignment architectures. Such a misaligned TVLV/OGM/OGMv2 is not created by a normal participant in the mesh. Therefore, reject such malformed packets.
