The VXLAN driver currently does not check if the inner layer2
source-address is valid.
In case source-address snooping/learning is enabled, a entry in the FDB
for the invalid address is created with the layer3 address of the tunnel
endpoint.
If the frame happens to have a non-unicast address set, all this
non-unicast traffic is subsequently not flooded to the tunnel network
but sent to the learnt host in the FDB. To make matters worse, this FDB
entry does not expire.
Apply the same filtering for packets as it is done for bridges. This not
only drops these invalid packets but avoids them from being learnt into
the FDB.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
