Summary

In the Linux kernel, the batman-adv batadv_dat_get_vid() function does not verify that the proto field of the ethernet header is accessible before reading it. This could lead to an out-of-bounds read.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read data beyond the allocated buffer, potentially leading to information disclosure or system crash.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update that fixes CVE-2026-80599.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: batman-adv: dat: ensure accessible eth_hdr proto field When batadv_get_vid() accesses the proto field of the ethernet header, it is not checking if the data itself is accessible. The caller is responsible for it. But in contrast to other call sites, batadv_dat_get_vid() and its caller didn't make sure this is true. This could have caused an out-of-bounds access.
