A changelink() on an rmnet device mutates the rmnet port state attached to the real device (endpoint mux table, port->data_format and, via rmnet_vnd_update_dev_mtu(), the real device MTU). The real device may live in a different netns than the rmnet device (rmnet_newlink() resolves it in link_net), but the rtnl path only checks CAP_NET_ADMIN against dev_net(dev). A caller privileged only in the rmnet device's netns can therefore rewrite the shared cellular data-path state owned by another netns. Gate rmnet_changelink() with rtnl_dev_link_net_capable(), matching the "require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the device netns for changelink" series (vxlan/geneve, CVE-2026-68432).
