NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream vdsm-hook-checkips package and not the vdsm-hook-checkips package as distributed by RHEL.

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.6 and earlier gives valid SLAAC IPv6 addresses to interfaces when "boot protocol" is set to None, which might allow remote attackers to communicate with a system designated to be unreachable.
