CVE-2026-46238

CVE-2026-46238 affects the Linux kernel’s BAT IV implementation via the batman-adv subsystem. The issue stems from caching an auxiliary originator pointer derived from a temporary lookup in neigh_node state, where the pointer can be freed or become stale after purge handling. The documented fix i...
