CVE-2026-63917

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ip6: vti: Use ip6_tnl.net in vti6_changelink(). ip netns add ns1 ip netns add ns2 ip -n ns1 link add vti6_test type vti6 remote ::1 local ::2 key 7 ip -n ns1 link set vti6_test netns ns2 ip -n ns2 link set vti6_test type vti6 remote ::3 local ::4 key 9 ip netns del ns2 ip netns del ns1 [ 132.495484] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 132.497609] kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:12376! Commit 61220ab34948 ("vti6: Enable namespace changing") dropped NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL from vti6 devices. A vti6 tunnel can then move through IFLA_NET_NS_FD. After the move dev_net(dev) points at the new netns while t->net stays at the creation netns. vti6_changelink() and vti6_update() still use dev_net(dev) and dev_net(t->dev). They unlink from one per netns hash and relink into another. The creation netns is left with a stale entry. cleanup_net() of that netns later walks freed memory. Reachable from an unprivileged user namespace (unshare --user --map-root-user --net). Cross tenant scope on container hosts.
