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: 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

Grounded briefings

Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.

Executive

CVE-2022-49776 is a none public vulnerability record for Linux Linux. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. This summary is a catalog interpretation of the ingested metadata and cites the original advisories below.

System administrator

Identify whether Linux Linux is in your estate, then compare installed versions with the affected ranges. Affected packages or ranges on record: Linux Linux 91572088e3fdbf4fe31cf397926d8b890fdb3237 <b64085b00044bdf3cd1c9825e9ef5b2e0feae91a (91572088e3fdbf4fe31cf397926d8b890fdb3237 <b64085b00044bdf3cd1c9825e9ef5b2e0feae91a). Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. Prefer the vendor or distribution advisory linked in Sources before changing production systems. This is a catalog interpretation, not a runbook.

Security analyst

Signals on file: CVSS 0.0, EPSS 22.0%. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Sources contributing to this record: cve_org, euvd. Public exploit references, when present, are outbound links only and are not proof of active exploitation. This is a catalog interpretation of stored metadata.

Exploitation and remediation

  • Exploitation evidence

    Not listed as known exploited in CISA KEV. Not in CISA KEV or VulnCheck KEV.

  • Patch and remediation

    No required-action text is stored yet. Use the vendor or CERT links in Sources for patch availability.

  • Safe detection guidance

    Compare installed versions with the affected ranges below and verify the advisory from the original publisher. This site stores metadata and outbound links only; it does not ship exploit code or proof-of-concept payloads.
