# CVE-2026-31683

> Vulnerability · severity: **HIGH** (CVSS 7.8).

## Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

batman-adv: avoid OGM aggregation when skb tailroom is insufficient

When OGM aggregation state is toggled at runtime, an existing forwarded
packet may have been allocated with only packet_len bytes, while a later
packet can still be selected for aggregation. Appending in this case can
hit skb_put overflow conditions.

Reject aggregation when the target skb tailroom cannot accommodate the new
packet. The caller then falls back to creating a new forward packet
instead of appending.
