CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2022-49776
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
macvlan: enforce a consistent minimal mtu
macvlan should enforce a minimal mtu of 68, even at link creation.
This patch avoids the current behavior (which could lead to crashes
in ipv6 stack if the link is brought up)
$ ip link add macvlan1 link eno1 mtu 8 type macvlan # This should fail !
$ ip link sh dev macvlan1
5: macvlan1@eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 8 qdisc noop
state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 02:47:6c:24:74:82 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
$ ip link set macvlan1 mtu 67
Error: mtu less than device minimum.
$ ip link set macvlan1 mtu 68
$ ip link set macvlan1 mtu 8
Error: mtu less than device minimum.
