Subject: [ 75/82] batman-adv: Only write requested number of byte to user buffer

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@...fation.org>

commit b5a1eeef04cc7859f34dec9b72ea1b28e4aba07c upstream.

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.
