Inheriting needed_headroom and needed_tailroom from phy_dev in ipvlan_init().\n2. Propagating needed_headroom and needed_tailroom updates to attached ipvlans\n   in ipvlan_device_event() when receiving NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE events.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5c2ca77212eb38559b0353b8363b7a84f4b019dd","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5f33188457bbcc1b11ca87084037963c516ed3d9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/af602c4d0ee548da18e2409b4b4da1079625a372","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c0fbe31f6b20ade0465130685859faa5c86fda59","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e16e960d55a40d36bd7c2494cc005e757dc9a1ef"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:50:17.453294893+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-74744","score":0.00512,"percentile":0.43393,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
