Summary
CVE-2026-52919 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.143.1-1
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

batman-adv: fix tp_meter counter underflow during shutdown

batadvtpsender_shutdown() unconditionally decrements the "sending" atomic counter. If multiple paths (e.g. timeout, user cancel, and normal finish) call this function, the counter can underflow to -1.

Since the sender logic treats any non-zero value as "still sending", a negative value causes the sender kthread to loop indefinitely. This leads to a use-after-free when the interface is removed while the zombie thread is still active.

Fix this by using atomic_xchg() to ensure the counter only transitions from 1 to 0 once.

[sven: added missing change in batadvtpsend]
