In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: v: prevent OGM aggregation on disabled hardif
When an interface gets disabled, the worker is correctly disabled by
batadv_hardif_disable_interface() -> ... -> batadv_v_ogm_iface_disable().
In this process, the skb aggr_list is also freed.
But batadv_v_ogm_send_meshif() can still queue new skbs (via
batadv_v_ogm_queue_on_if()) to the aggr_list. This will only stop after all
cores can no longer find the RCU protected list of hard interfaces. These
queued skbs will never be freed or consumed by batadv_v_ogm_aggr_work.
The batadv_v_ogm_iface_disable() function must block
batadv_v_ogm_queue_on_if() to avoid leak of skbs.
