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.
