Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
macvlan: enforce a consistent minimal mtu<br />
<br />
macvlan should enforce a minimal mtu of 68, even at link creation.<br />
<br />
This patch avoids the current behavior (which could lead to crashes<br />
in ipv6 stack if the link is brought up)<br />
<br />
$ ip link add macvlan1 link eno1 mtu 8 type macvlan # This should fail !<br />
$ ip link sh dev macvlan1<br />
5: macvlan1@eno1: mtu 8 qdisc noop<br />
state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000<br />
link/ether 02:47:6c:24:74:82 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff<br />
$ ip link set macvlan1 mtu 67<br />
Error: mtu less than device minimum.<br />
$ ip link set macvlan1 mtu 68<br />
$ ip link set macvlan1 mtu 8<br />
Error: mtu less than device minimum.
