commit 537a350d14321c8cca5efbf0a33a404fec3a9f9e upstream. The internal handling of VLAN IDs in batman-adv is only specified for following encodings: * VLAN is used - bit 15 is 1 - bit 11 - bit 0 is the VLAN ID (0-4095) - remaining bits are 0 * No VLAN is used - bit 15 is 0 - remaining bits are 0 batman-adv was only preparing new translation table entries (based on its soft interface information) using this encoding format. But the receive path was never checking if entries in the roam or TT TVLVs were also following this encoding. It was therefore possible to create more than the expected maximum of 4096 + 1 entries in the originator VLAN list. Simply by setting the "remaining bits" to "random" values in corresponding TVLV.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
