*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

net/ipv6/addrconf.c in the IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel before 4.0
does not validate attempted changes to the MTU value, which allows
context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (packet loss)
via a value that is (1) smaller than the minimum compliant value or (2)
larger than the MTU of an interface, as demonstrated by a Router
Advertisement (RA) message that is not validated by a daemon, a
different vulnerability than CVE-2015-0272.  NOTE: the scope of
CVE-2015-0272 is limited to the NetworkManager product.
