Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-24 08:02:17 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

batman-adv: clear current gateway during teardown

batadv_gw_node_free() removes the gateway list entries during mesh teardown,
but it does not clear the currently selected gateway. This leaves stale
gateway state behind across cleanup and can break a later mesh recreation.

Clear bat_priv->gw.curr_gw before walking the gateway list so the selected
gateway reference is dropped as part of teardown.
