Summary
CVE-2026-52931 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: tp_meter: avoid use of uninit sender vars

batadvtprecvack() and batadvtpstop() are only valid for tpvars in the BATADVTPSENDER role. When called with a BATADVTPRECEIVER role, it proceeds to read sender-only members that were never initialized, leading to undefined behavior.

This can be triggered when a node that is currently acting as a receiver in an ongoing tp_meter session receives a malicious ACK packet.

Guard against this by checking tpvars->role immediately after the lookup and bailing out if it is not BATADVTP_SENDER, before any of those members are accessed.
