Description :In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ip6_vti: set netns_immutable on the fallback device.

john1988 and Noam Rathaus reported that vti6_init_net() does not set the
netns_immutable flag on the per-netns fallback tunnel device (ip6_vti0).

Other similar tunnel drivers (like ip6_tunnel, sit, ip6_gre, and ip_tunnel)
correctly set this flag during their fallback device initialization to
prevent them from being moved to another network namespace.

Severity: 0.0 | NA
