CVE-2026-52909 is a Linux kernel vulnerability in the ip6_vti tunnel driver. The per-network-namespace fallback tunnel device, ip6_vti0, was initialized without setting the netns_immutable flag in vti6_init_net(). Comparable tunnel drivers such as ip6_tunnel, sit, ip6_gre, and ip_tunnel correctly mark their fallback devices as immutable to prevent them from being moved across network namespaces. Because ip6_vti0 lacked this protection, the fallback device could be moved to another network namespace contrary to the intended isolation model.
