commit e7c775110e1858e5a7471a23a9c9658c0af9df89 upstream.
When the unacked_list is unbound, an attacker could send messages with
small lengths and appropriated seqno + gaps to force the receiver to
allocate more and more unacked_list entries. And the end either causing an
out-of-memory situation or increase the management overhead for the (large)
list that significant portions of CPU cycles are wasted in searching
through the list.
When limiting the list to a specific number, it is important to still
correctly add a new entry to the list. But if the list became larger than
the limit, the last entry of the list (with the highest seqno) must be
dropped to still allow the earlier seqnos to finish and therefore to
continue the process. Otherwise, the process might get stuck with too high
seqnos which are not handled by batadv_tp_ack_unordered().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
