NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream network-manager package and not the network-manager package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The receive_ra function in rdisc/nm-lndp-rdisc.c in the Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol implementation in the IPv6 stack in NetworkManager 1.x allows remote attackers to reconfigure a hop-limit setting via a small hop_limit value in a Router Advertisement (RA) message, a similar issue to CVE-2015-2922.
