Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `batman-adv` module. When a mesh interface is removed, the `batadv_mesh_free()` function does not properly stop `tp_meter` sessions. This oversight allows active `tp_meter` sender threads or late incoming packets to continue processing against a mesh instance that is in the process of shutting down. This can lead to system instability and a denial of service (DoS).
