Vulnerability Type: DoS Overflow Mem. Corr. 
CWE ID: CWE-119
Summary: The bat_socket_read function in net/batman-adv/icmp_socket.c in the Linux kernel before 3.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted batman-adv ICMP packet.
Commit Message: batman-adv: Only write requested number of byte to user buffer

Don't write more than the requested number of bytes of an batman-adv icmp
packet to the userspace buffer. Otherwise unrelated userspace memory might get
overridden by the kernel.
