In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: batman-adv: dat: handle forward allocation error batadv_dat_forward_data() calls pskb_copy_for_clone() to duplicate an skb for each DHT candidate, but does not check the return value before passing it to batadv_send_skb_prepare_unicast_4addr(). That function dereferences the skb unconditionally, so a failed allocation triggers a NULL pointer dereference. Skip forwarding to the current DHT candidate on allocation failure.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's batman-adv (Better Approach To Mobile Ad-hoc Networking) module. This vulnerability occurs because the `batadv_dat_forward_data()` function fails to validate the success of a memory allocation operation. An attacker could exploit this by triggering a scenario where the memory allocation fails, leading to a NULL pointer dereference and causing the system to crash. This results in a Denial of Service (DoS).
