Descriptions
GNOME NetworkManager allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (IPv6 traffic disruption) via a crafted MTU value in an IPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) message, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-8215.
NOME NetworkManager permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (interrupción del tráfico IPv6) a través de un valor MTU manipulado en un mensaje Router Advertisement (RA) IPv6, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-8215.
It was discovered that NetworkManager would set device MTUs based on MTU values received in IPv6 RAs (Router Advertisements), without sanity checking the MTU value first. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to create a denial of service attack, by sending a specially crafted IPv6 RA packet to disturb IPv6 communication.
