Subject: CVE-2024-26634: net: fix removing a namespace with conflicting altnames
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix removing a namespace with conflicting altnames
Mark reports a BUG() when a net namespace is removed.
kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:11520!
Physical interfaces moved outside of init_net get "refunded"
to init_net when that namespace disappears. The main interface
name may get overwritten in the process if it would have
conflicted. We need to also discard all conflicting altnames.
Recent fixes addressed ensuring that altnames get moved
with the main interface, which surfaced this problem.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-26634 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
