CVE-2022-49776

MediumCVSS 5.5/10Last modified Jun 17, 2026

Description

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.
