commit c3fef3d9ec6e8b882f321ec20f6f2cb2ee906503 Author: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org Date: Sat Jun 4 08:52:12 2016 +0200

batman-adv: Fix use-after-free/double-free of tt_req_node

The tt_req_node is added and removed from a list inside a spinlock. But the locking is sometimes removed even when the object is still referenced and will be used later via this reference. For example batadv_send_tt_request can create a new tt_req_node (including add to a list) and later re-acquires the lock to remove it from the list and to free it. But at this time another context could have already removed this tt_req_node from the list and freed it.

CPU#0

<- returned to batadv_send_tt_request spin_lock(...) tt_req_node gets removed from list and is freed MEMORY CORRUPTION/SEGFAULT/... spin_unlock(...)

This can only be solved via reference counting to allow multiple contexts to handle the list manipulation while making sure that only the last context holding a reference will free the object.
