GHSA-66mx-vw67-wmq9 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:batman-adv: bypass empty buckets in batadv_purge_orig_ref()Many syzbot reports are pointing to soft lockups in
batadv_purge_orig_ref() [1]Root cause is unknown, but we can avoid spending too much
time there and perhaps get more interesting reports.[1]watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 27s! [kworker/u4:6:621]
