Hi

can I get a CVE for this:
https://lists.open-mesh.org/pipermail/b.a.t.m.a.n/2011-December/005904.html
?

If root does read() on a specific socket, it's possible to corrupt
(kernel) memory over network, with an ICMP packet, if B.A.T.M.A.N. mesh
protocol is used.

I'm going to need first hand source information, i.e. links to the
code/commits/project stating it's an issue or something similar.
