Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of empty vlan responses in batman-adv translation table handling when processing indirect translation table replies from the global tt state. A remote attacker can trigger indirect translation table responses containing empty vlan data to cause a denial of service.
The issue affects replies generated indirectly by another node using the global tt state rather than only direct local translation table responses.
