CVE-2026-90232
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
amt: Don't support cross-netns setup.
When a lower device is unregistered, amt_device_event() tries to unregister its upper AMT device, but it has two problems.
If AMT device is created on a lower device in another netns, removing the lower device triggers the splat below and gets stuck until all upper devices are removed. [0]
The cross-netns setup seems unintentional considering 1. and the following points:
Instead of supporting it properly and preparing for per-netns netdev unreg, let's forbid cross-netns setup.
Note that the problem 2. needs a separate fix.
Detalles técnicos trazas, registros y código del informe original
1. amt_lookup_upper_dev() looks up an upper device in the
lower device's netns only
2. amt_device_event() unregisters a single upper device only
* amt_link_setup() sets dev->netns_immutable to true
* skb_scrub_packet() is not called in the fast path
* iproute2 binary fails to find cross-netns lower device via
link-netns:
# ip -n ns1 link add amt0 link-netns ns2 type amt dev veth1
Cannot find device "veth1"
