Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v3 2/3] batman-adv: Disallow zero and mcast src address for mgmt frames
Date: Sat,  6 Aug 2016 17:04:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1470495863-22251-2-git-send-email-sven@narfation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1470495863-22251-1-git-send-email-sven@narfation.org>

The routing check for management frames is validating the source mac
address in the outer ethernet header. It rejects every source mac address
which is a broadcast address. But it also has to reject the zero-mac
address and multicast mac addresses.

Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

v3:
 - Fix patch subject
v2:
 - clarify in commit message that only the outer ethernet header is
   affected
   (thanks Linus)
 - split in patch 1/2
