      <title>CVE-2025-21781 — batman-adv: fix panic during interface removal</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-21781</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;batman-adv: fix panic during interface removal&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reference counting is used to ensure that
batadv_hardif_neigh_node and batadv_hard_iface
are not freed before/during
batadv_v_elp_throughput_metric_update work is
finished.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But there isn&amp;#39;t a guarantee that the hard if will
remain associated with a soft interface up until
the work is finished.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This fixes a crash triggered by reboot that looks
like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Call trace:
 batadv_v_mesh_free+0xd0/0x4dc [batman_adv]
 batadv_v_elp_throughput_metric_update+0x1c/0xa4
 process_one_work+0x178/0x398
 worker_thread+0x2e8/0x4d0
 kthread+0xd8/0xdc
 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(the batadv_v_mesh_free call is misleading,
and does not actually happen)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was able to make the issue happen more reliably
by changing hardif_neigh-&amp;gt;bat_v.metric_work work
to be delayed work. This allowed me to track down
and confirm the fix.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[sven@narfation.org: prevent entering batadv_v_elp_get_throughput without
 soft_iface]&lt;/p&gt;</description>
