Details

It was discovered that the Linux kernel’s IPv6 networking stack has a flaw
that allows using route advertisement (RA) messages to set the ‘hop_limit’
to values that are too low. An unprivileged attacker on a local network
could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (IPv6 messages
dropped).
