CVE-2015-2924 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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.. EPSS estimates a 1.20% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
