*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

The batadv_frag_merge_packets function in net/batman-adv/fragmentation.c
in the B.A.T.M.A.N. implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1
uses an incorrect length field during a calculation of an amount of
memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(mesh-node system crash) via fragmented packets.

Break-Fix: - 5b6698b0e4a37053de35cc24ee695b98a7eb712b

Bug description:
  The batadv_frag_merge_packets function in net/batman-
  adv/fragmentation.c in the B.A.T.M.A.N. implementation in the Linux
  kernel through 3.18.1 uses an incorrect length field during a
  calculation of an amount of memory, which allows remote attackers to
  cause a denial of service (mesh-node system crash) via fragmented
  packets.
