commit d77b6ff0ce35a6d0b0b7b9581bc3f76d041d4087 upstream.

batadv_nc_skb_decode_packet() trusts coded_len and checks only against
skb->len. XOR starts at sizeof(struct batadv_unicast_packet), reducing
payload headroom, and the source skb length is not verified, allowing an
out-of-bounds read and a small out-of-bounds write.

Validate that coded_len fits within the payload area of both destination
and source sk_buffs before XORing.
