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.
