Bug#782107: kfreebsd-10: CVE-2015-2923: IPv6 Hop limit lowering via RA messages
Package: src:kfreebsd-10
Version: 10.1~svn274115-3
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Hi,
A local-network DoS was reported in the IPv6 stack of FreeBSD:
https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-15:09.ipv6.asc
(the same issue as CVE-2015-2922 on Linux).
This affects all our kfreebsd-8, -9, -10 and -11 packages.
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD packages enable "accept_rtadv" by default, so are
vulnerable to this DoS unless that flag is manually disabled on an
interface, or IPv6 connectivity not used.
