  2. enable l2 bearer
  3. TIPC_NL_UDP_GET_REMOTEIP with media name set to tun

tipc: Started in network mode tipc: Node identity 8af312d38a21 cluster identity 4711 tipc: Enabled bearer eth:syz_tun priority 1 Oops: general protection fault KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range CPU: 1 UID: 1000 PID: 559 Comm: poc Not tainted 6.16.0-rc1+ 117 PREEMPT Hardware name: QEMU Ubuntu 24.04 PC RIP: 0010:tipc_udp_nl_dump_remoteip+0x4a4/0x8f0
