    problem. Ido Schimmel found steps to reproduce

      ip link add name team1 type team
      ip link add name dummy1 mtu 1499 master team1 type dummy
      ip netns add ns1
      ip link set dev dummy1 netns ns1
      ip -n ns1 link del dev dummy1

    and also found that the same issue was fixed in the bond driver in
    commit f51048c3e07b (bonding: avoid NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event when
    unregistering slave).

    Let's do similar thing for the team driver, with commit ad7c7b2172c3 (net:
    hold netdev instance lock during sysfs operations) and commit 303a8487a657
    (net: s/__dev_set_mtu/__netif_set_mtu/) also applied.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
