    batman-adv: fix skb->data assignment · 6f4d747d
    Antonio Quartulli authored
    commit 2c995ff8 upstream.
    
    skb_linearize(skb) possibly rearranges the skb internal data and then changes
    the skb->data pointer value. For this reason any other pointer in the code that
    was assigned skb->data before invoking skb_linearise(skb) must be re-assigned.
    
    In the current tt_query message handling code this is not done and therefore, in
    case of skb linearization, the pointer used to handle the packet header ends up
    in pointing to free'd memory.
